Thank you all for your advice! Still doing some research on how much of each material to mix in, and I’ll reply with my findings.

Dearest pottery sages, I have the Studio Pro bat system which is made out of MDF. Every time I try to cone up and down, the clay releases and pops off. I’ve tried it on both a damp and dry clean bat inserts. The bottom of my wedges are also dry. I noticed if the wedge is wet or contains any amount of slip the wedge slides around. Should I be slamming it down on the insert? Slightly frustrated, baby potter

Hi everyone, I’m noticing my reclaim is coming up short, even though I’ve saved all of my throwing water and slip. (For reference, the clay bodies I am trying to reclaim are Laguna B-Mix with Sand and another already reclaimed B-Mix I got from a studio, both ^10). I went to my local clay supplier and asked what they recommended to add plasticity and they said bentonite and EPK so I bought those. My reclaim is on plaster slabs right now, almost ready to wedge, and I’m trying to figure out how much of each raw material to add to my clay. I’m also unsure of how to incorporate the materials into a clay that is not in its dry state. Can anyone point me in the direction of a good recipe to follow? Thanks in advance! Baby potter

Hi all, Baby potter here. I was gifted a Pacifica GT400 that I want to use outdoors (under a covered canopy). While the manual does not recommend using an extension cord, when I reached out to Laguna they said, “We have no suggestion on extension cord except it should be a thick extension cord, not a cord used for a lamp.” For reference, the control box is labeled "110 V ac ⏺ 50/60 Hz ⏺ 2.2 A". Can anyone recommend what extension cord to use specifically plug into an outdoor outlet? Thanks in advance!
