🎉Wow!🎉 Excellent tip that I wish I had a week ago 😂. The bag going into a bucket of water is brilliant and obvious once someone else figures it out for you
If the clay needs to be 20% water doesn't it need more water than that, since it should also counts the weight of the water ? If m is the quantity of clay and x the quantity of water, you would want x = 0.2×(m+x) which would be 25% of the dry weight in water to achieve the 20% when rehydrated
Exactly. She said "workable clay" needs 20% water content. So that's the total mass of hydrated clay, not dry clay. She should divide the mass of dry clay by 0.8 to get the total mass of hydrated clay, then figure out how much water is needed. So the amount of water = 0.2* (mass of the dry clay/0.8) = 1/4 * mass of the dry clay
