If you want to work a firmest clay :

• run the necessary quantity of clay in your pasta machine (medium setting)
• put it between 2 sheets of white blank paper
• wait for 10/15 mn that the paper absorbs an amount of the plastifier and check if the firmness is suitable for your purpose. If not, wait again for 10/15 mn and check.
• once the good consistence acheived, run the clay several times in your pasta machine. As you'll notice, kind of cracked patterns will appear in the clay at first, it's normal. You have to go on running the clay in your PM to, on one hand, redistribute the plastifier harmoniously in the clay, and on the other hand, to realign the mica particles for a regurlarly spread brightness.
• When the color is homogeneous, the clay is ready to work.
