Anything past about the 2:30 mark is extra work if all you are going to do is make glandes out of it.
I just dig up the clay, knead it until it's uniform, then make my glandes. I cheat a little, I put mine in the oven overnight to dry them out. Put the temp below boiling and you should be good to go. If the clay cracks, then lower the heat a bit.
If you put them in the sun, they will crack because the side in the sun will dry faster than the other and shrink up faster, which will cause cracks. So dry them in the shade. Which will take a lot longer.

Looking good. I'm guessing this is store bought clay? I want to have a go at clay ammunition but don't quite fancy stumping up the cash and there isn't anywhere around that has clay soil so I'm a bit stuck. It's been added to the pile labelled "Future Projects"
Hey mate what is awesome job, how long it took you to make em ? )) unfortunately for me all my time goes to
https://onlinepharmacyreviews.org
as i have some health issues, unfortunately. but i'm still interested.

i think i've found clay , but its dry how can i make it workable again?
it is as hard as rock.
leaving it soak for days doesn't seem to help a lot .

Crush it before you soak it. If you can't crush it, it's not likely to be clay.
