When working with a mold what is best clay to use?
There are different types of molds and so different types of clay work best in specific molds. Plaster molds are generally used with clay in liquid form, known as slip. In this type of mold, the porous plaster absorbs water and the solid clay is deposited on the inside of the mold, allowed to stiffen and then the mold is disassembled and the casting removed and trimmed. Slump molds or hump molds are generally used with clay slabs and the clay depends on what you are looking for in the end results: porcelain, stoneware, low-fire clay etc.

How do you clean tarnish off jewelry?
For sterling jewelry jewelers use a sterling silver dip. I like Hagerty's dip. Jewelers also use baking soda and water when they don't have a sterling silver dip. Mix just enough water with baking soda to make a paste. Rub on your jewelry then rinse and dry. I would not use toothpaste. Using toothpaste is an old wife's tale and can harm your jewelry if you have a high polish fine jewelry. For platinum or gold, use Mr. Clean, water, and ammonia. This is what jewelers use in their ultra sonic to clean jewelry and is safe for all types of jewelry. Half Mr. Clean and water with just a little ammonia.
