Extruder tearing clay


Recommended Posts

So this is my first time using an extruder. I finally bit the bullet and got a Scott creek 4” extruder mainly to make a lot of test tiles. However, I keep getting tearing along some of the edges of the forms (usually where there is a curve, see attached image). What is the best way to prevent this? Do I just need to use softer than normal clay? Thanks!
