If it is harder than usual I use the roller and roll,turn over,roll again till it gets soft enough to put in the machine. Because I just started working with the clay this spring, I'm learning to adjust the temperature around it. I like the summer, even though you have to cool it at times. The cold days I have to put the clay in a zip bag between a heating pad on top of the pasta machine. The machine and my hands are colder, since we try to keep the temp. down to save and also we sleep better when it's cooler. 1.True 2.False 3.True 4.True 5 True I have been having good luck with conditioning the clay except for one time I had to add the clay softner and it worked after some patience.

True 2. False 3. True 4. True 5. True Following all the guidelines I've learned from you, Cindy, I've had really good results when conditioning my clay. I do have a problem though with not being able to get the pasta machine rollers really clean. I use alcohol on a paper towel but the next time I put clay through I'm picking up colors from before. What should I do about this? Thanks! 1. True
