Hi
How do you use the peroxide with the clay? Do you have to use gloves ?

David, what kind of container did you put it in? Its possible that if it was
a food container that you didn't clean it well enough to remove all the food
particles and the might be the culprit in growing mold. I had the same problem
when I made slip and put it in a large plastic gallon tea container. It was
like a starter kit for bread making in that just enough of food particles, or
maybe mold already in the container was there to make more mold. Don't know if
thats the case with your mold, but its a possibility.

Hi: Cat
:
I use peroxide to control mold with paper clay and you might try this with
your slip. It works real good for me.

Cat,
No food container, just an old Seeley's gallon jar. I used a little
bleach and it worked for a about a week. It's starting to smell like old
socks. I'm sure if I were making throwing clay I'd be pleased as punch
that the mold was growing so fast. I might even eat it.
I'll do the hydrogen peroxide next. I wonder was companies like Seeley's
use. It seems to last forever. Laguna sells a Dow product called Agent
A. I may give it a try but Laguna says bleach works just as well.
