Please note that Laguna paper clay is formulated with non toxic additives to inhibit microbial growth. Appropriate storage a cool environment will extend the effectiveness of those ingredients. Because the wood products added to your clay are organic, mold growth may become visible within 30-90 days. Any color change or mold will not affect drying or rain after firing. 

There are several ways you can deal with the mold. 

1. Slice, cut or scrape off mold

2. Spray the clay with disinfectant and wait for 3-5 minutes then simply wipe off with a paper towel or rag

3. Add one tablespoon of bleach to one gallon of water and spray or wipe it on the clay

4. To minimize mold issues, order clay and use within a short span of time 

Always fire your paper clay in a well ventilated kiln. Paper burns out during the earlier phase of the bisque firing similar to wax resist. You may experience a burn off smell and as always, you should not be around the kiln during the firing for any extended period of time
