We bought a living christmas tree and I got a nice pot (no time to make one myself) from the pot warehouse and planted our little tree in it. Moved it outside today and the tray has leaked and the...

Pardon my ignorance but I bought some fire clay and it is in dry powdered form. Do I just add water and start stirring? Any idea of weight of water to weight of clay? My application is to seal a metal box that will be used for case hardening in order to keep air out. Thanks in advance, Wes

Hi folks :-) Being just a beginner when it comes to turning, I need to get rid of bad habits before they lock on. One that I have notice now is that I somehow pull some of the clay too far up, so that I get an extra loose lip at the top. My only guess is that I was turning with long fingernails -...
