clay pots

Post by Spikylover »

Hello
I just got a bunch of cheap unglazed clay pots and i have 2 questions:
1. They are a bit rough on the outside. You think i can sand them maybe?
2. I don't wanna water daily and i don't want muck on the outside. Can i seal them with candle wax like i do with my shoes? I just rub on a candle and melt with a hair dryer.

Thanks in advance.

Rachel.

there is no reason you can't sand them, as far as sealing them, I've used epoxy before and it works, or you could use some wax, though you might need to reapply it from time to time, but I have never tried that.
There is no cactus you can't eat, but you just might regret it if you eat the wrong one.
