16,000 layers yet still not mixed! What now?


Tuesday 15th July 2014

First I interlayered soft and stiff clay slabs (giving eight layers total). Then I repeatedly sliced it vertically, flattening the two pieces and layered them, each time doubling the number of layers. After eleven times it has 16,536 layers. Yet it is still not mixed! 30 seconds of insight-live.com/glossary/374">wedging is all it takes to finish the job. Wedging is a very effective mixing technique.
