[TheForge] "sculpting clay"

Unfortunately I deleted the original message unintentionally. As I recall
there was a second part to the question. If I recall correctly the question
was relating to using modeling clay for making originals for investment
casting.

If I'm correct there's a real problem with adequate burnout of modeling
clay, basically it leaves residue that can't be removed and plays hob with
castings.

If it ain't forged
it ain't real.
Wrought iron is.
