are warranted by each separate manufacturer and certified non toxic through Duke University the same certification used by ACMI certified art materials to be safe for home and school use. Certified preservatives are added to the commercial blends to extend shelf life and these have also been tested as above.P'Clays should be used as soon as possible after purchase. P'Clay should arrive with a normal appearance. When not "fresh" and if stored in some hot and humid climates "over time" in some, but not all, base clays there is a chance of mold growth. Usually this shows as dark streaks similar to mildew on the sides of the moist block that can be scraped off the surface with a rib or blade, and the interior is still fine.
If within a week of purchase your P'Clay shows signs of "age", you should get a discount on it's price, or have it exchanged for some fresher batch. When P'Clays "dry out" the conditions for mold growth are less favorable and a kiln fire further destroys and burns up any trace.
Bleach is never used in a recipe for any trademarked product and is discouraged in any form. Preservatives may have been added to some clay bodies to extend shelf life. Shelf life of moist paperclay varies from months to years depending on clays used and temperatures of storage.
As with all art materials, those with skin allergies may want to wear gloves and test a small sample first.
Use at your own risk.
You may insist on only the freshest possible batch used within weeks or months of purchase to reduce risk further.
Why its so important to use fresh batch!
