‘Techno Tip Dealing with Dust continued fram page 4 * Avoid rugs at doorways; they become an impossible-to-clean reservoir of dust. Use something that can be washed; vacu- uming simply will not remove all the dust, especially not the fine particles. * Reprocessing scrap: Large chunks of clay that are too hard to use do not need to be broken before soaking. Once clay is totally dry, any size plece will slake and tum to mush if placed in clear water (al- ready moist clay will notslake). Do not stir it until it is all mush, or it may seal the surface and prevent further penetration, Remove water by placing on several inches thick of plaster or on a stretched canvas. * Dust masks must be tight fitting on your face and have seriows dust filters that are rated for very fine dust. Search for ‘dust’ at Axner.com or contact you supplier (look for NIOSH #TC-21C-166 and #TC-21C- 231). * Check at your local hardware store for dust control products.
