Help
We have at least 3 boxes of Kentucky Mudworks Iceman so 150 pounds that literally is not right to work with. It’s super firm and in my opinion short. I reached out to the company and gave the batch number. I received a reply on May 10 that it seemed fine when they did their test. They did ask me when I was noticing the cracking and on what surface I was rolling it out on. I responded immediately answering their questions and asked for suggestions. On May 13, I sent another email as I hadn’t heard anything to check in. On May 18 I got an email saying I’m sorry I’ll pass the information on to our clay tech Will. But for now I would suggest adding a bit of water to the bag and submerging it in water. She felt that since we received the shipment last November it could be drying out due to being old. OLD? Well I added a half cup of water to the bag, sealed it, and submerged it. Only to discover the next day when I went back that there was more water in the bag than I had put. The top of the bag was not submerged so I am thinking the issue was with the bag. No visible break though. Well it is now May 20 and I am still waiting for Will to contact me. I am disappointed to say the least. I keep wondering why I’ve never had this issue before. Have you had trouble with old clay? I just never thought my clay I ordered late last fall would now be old and difficult to use.
