Avoiding Club Fingers
A couple more tips on working with CelluClay.
This stuff is quite sticky and likes to clump up on your fingers, thus forming what I like to call “Club Fingers”, the same as dough will clump up on your fingers if you don’t add flour to your hands while working with it in the kitchen. In the case of CelluClay, simply keep your fingers moist. I keep a small cup of water nearby to dip my fingers, and tools, in while I work. It also helps when smoothing out and shaping the clay.
I’ll update with a photo of “club fingers” next time I work with the clay.
When mixing the CelluClay do so in a large ziplock bag, it will keep your hands clean. Also, if you mix up too much you can push the air out and zip it closed. You can then store the leftovers for a bit in the refrigerator and not waste it.
