Mathieu,

I appreciate your enthusiasm and dedication.  But sometimes it seems like
you are always trying to reivent the wheel!  Perhaps the difference
between you and me (and others) is that you are a puppet maker first (or
solely) while my puppet making takes place so that I can work as a
performer.

Anyway, as you mentioned my name in a previous posting, I wonder whether
the type of clay you add to latex will make a difference?  I'm sure that
the people at the Cementex Co. (the brand I use)figured that out a long
time ago.  There must be slight variations in the chemical (or mineral)
make-up of different brands that could affect the quality of a finished
product.

Also, the puppets I made with L200 back in the early 1980's have not yet
shown signs of deterioration.

Robert Rogers
