I recently learned that talc has been removed from clay for fear of it causing cancer. I was pouring molds this summer and found that many of the large pieces we poured were collapsing before they were dry enough to take out of the mold, and a friend is having similar problems with her pieces collapsing and cracking. Does this problem have anything to do with the absence of talc in the clay, and if so, is there anything that can be done to remedy it?
