OK, I just received my shipment of 30 lbs. of Chavant NSP Medium clay. Yes, it's for the backpack, and I need to know how to heat & soften this stuff up. Previously other members have chimed in and told me how to make a box with a light bulb inside to provide heat. I don't have time to go into all that. I was thinking about using a crock pot. Nice thing about it, it has several heat settings. Any other ideas?
Chavant Clay Heating Ideas?

I microwave mine.
BUT
theres a fine line between nice and pliable and "******* hell that hurt" hot.
if possible cut the block up into about 6 pieces and then microwave for around 80 seconds, have a quick check then. if it needs more whack it back in, baring in mnd micros heat from the inside out
i often twist the clay block to check its plaibility ( is that even a word )?
hope ive made some sense.
Ps ive no idea what a crock pot is, and for one min i thought u typed crack pot

I have often micro waved the clay, but it does dry some of the oils in it over time so be careful.

You can make a heat box or use a microwave.

Microwave, or put it in a plastic bag in medium to warm water. (no HOT water since it will liquify your clay in time)
Also, try to get your hands on a pasta-machine, seems to work wonders on the plyability.
