I think lead powder should remain in the same catagory as depleted uranium. Definitely not safe. You can buy small metal bbs in large amounts. Thats the direction Im thinking as far as adding density. Just not with clay. Im going to be experimenting with different mixes to see if I can get a relatively cheap, easy to use, durable and dense shot. If I find anything decent Ill be sure and post it.

Sorry for delay currently distracted by new project: building a big delta printer.
http://3dprintboard.com/showthread.php?29838-Heaven-help-me-I-ve-just-bought-a-d...
)
With luck I'll get that done over the weekend and then post the purchase thread for the moulds.
Did I ned another 3d printer ?
No.
Do I need the experience of building one from scratch - yes.
Can a delta printer do stuff that my current cartesian type machines can't ? Oh Yeah !
Will the new printer by really cool to watch running - definitely !
Will it actually work ?
I have no idea lol But at that price and build volume I just caved in.

Once you start 3d printing a new printer the circle of life will be complete.

Question: when we want to harden the clay, would a normal oven work? Or would we need a kiln?

If you get air-drying you won't need either. My understanding as well is that they're better a bit wet as the water adds mass and weight.

I put mine in the oven at a lowish temp for 45 minutes-1 hour.
Never had the patience to wait for air drying.

The modelling clay I use will harden overnight, I usually put them on a piece of card on top of a radiator.
As far as normal clay goes. No idea never used it
Experiment.

I live by a man made lake. I wonder if I could find clay along the bank... although, I'm not quite sure what to look for.

Clay
It's like mud, but smoother and stickier.

Lots of places in the US have clay. Here in Eastern Texas the soil is all clay pretty much. Out west it was very sandy. Pick some up and mess around with it. Clay has a very distinctive feel and you will know right away if it is.
