Practice question · Numerical answer
How many steps does the standard clay join require?
Hints
- Scoring and slipping are two of them.
- Score, slip, press and blend, and match the moisture level.

Why
Four: score both surfaces, slip both surfaces, press and blend so the pieces become continuous, and join at the same moisture level. Skipping the scoring is the most common cause of a join that holds while damp and opens along a clean line as it dries.
