does anyone know what grade the clay bar is? I've seen other types in the market and they say either ultra fine or fine which is the best to use.

Meguiar's clay bar is not rated to my knowledge as fine or ultra fine. I have used other clay bars, Mothers, Turtle wax and others. I found the Meguiar's excellent in removing years of neglect. I reciently purchased a 2005 GMC Envoy, the Meguiar's clay bar gave me a really smooth paint finish prior to waxing. My truck is black and the clay bar did not leave any swirl marks.

I don't know. I'm just a beginner I got it because it is low fire clay . You might want to look at the company's website for all safe uses.

No. Nothing prepares your paint as well as Clay Bar! This is more for fine scratches or even tough substances like sticky road grime that's the bottom of your car. But the clay bar removes all substances down to clear coat so WAX holds better to that clear coat! :-)

It has been so far. Some people have complained about breaking clays but it has not been an issue. The only time that there was a problem was with a 10 year old box that someone brought over. You also can use the biodegradable targets. I have been very happy with how it works. I would recommend getting the wobbler attachment for it too.

I am not sure what other people use, but I bake it, sand it, and spray it with Krylon clear acrylic spray. I believe that you can paint it with latex paints. I think you could find some good information on Utube and search Scupty. Another good idea is to do a Google search under the type of craft you are doing, or under the type of material you are using. Good luck. Things will probably be fine no matter what you use. I avoid any oil based paints because of unknown or bad chemical reactions with the clay.

I am not familiar with the item you mentioned however bentonite is powdered clay also. Clay is used merely as a clearing agent as it settles to the bottom

I'm not 100% sure what to tell you... it really depends on what you are doing...I make 3-D surfboards, snowboards and skateboards using bake-able Sculpey clay. For the parts of the board that I use the clay on, I absolutely use the "Sculpey glaze" but for the rest of the board I just use a polyurethane or exterior gloss varnish depending on whether it is meant for indoor or out door. Best bet is to use the recommended product for the medium. There is nothing worse than creating something great, and then "F-in" it up because you did not use the materials which were recommended! Hope this helps.

Do you mean other autos paint? If so you'd need a buffer. The clay works very well on paint that's in good condition. If you do go the buffer route, Griots makes a great one, but it's on the pricey side. You might be better served by taking your car to a body shop and having them do it.

I was curious so I contacted Frontier. Here is their reply: Hi Jill, Thank you for contacting us! The bentonite clay powder we offer is a non-swelling, calcium type of bentonite. Our bentonite powder is for external use only, not intended for internal use. We have a cosmetic license for this product, not a food grade license as we market this product for use in a mask for skin care. If there is anything else we may help you with please don't hesitate to ask! Have a wonderful day! Best Regards, Deb Customer Care Frontier Natural Products Coop However, I tend to agree with Danielle and Anne. The company probably needs to protect themselves...

the old label for this product listed it as "food grade" but when I received item in mail it had a different label that did NOT mention anything about using it internally, I tried to ask "Now Foods" directly but was put on hold for a very long time. In my opinion I am guessing that the label has been changed to avoid any litigation since any clay product can cause internal problems if not taken with extreme caution.

The purpose of the clay bar is to really strip the pain of anything (dirt, wax, ect). Often times the clay bar will put VERY fine lines in your pain (swirl marks of sorts). If your paint inst looking good id use a compound, polish, then sealant. What I usually do is clay bar the car, polish, apply sealant. Hope that helps!

I contacted the seller because I was curious as well.... Me: Hi, I just wanted to know if this product is edible also? Is it alright to mix it in some tea? I read some reviews and some people are consuming it. If so, how much is okay? Seller reply: Dear Valued Customer, Thank you for contacting us! We are happy to explain. French Green Clay can be consumed, just as Bentonite Green Clay can. 150mg is the recommended daily serving for both clays, which is about one tablespoon. It is recommended to be mixed with warm water, so you can mix it with some hot tea if you would like. We hope this information helps! Please feel free to contact us back with any other questions!

I am sorry that I can't help you. I am not using these to strain paint, but for a hydroponic growing system to contain perlite. I haven't any experience to tell the difference between fine and regular. If there is some other way I can help you, please let me know. Tony

it is smooth I think it would work fine for clay too. It doesn't have any thing on it that would leave marks on it.

I'm sorry I didn't bake the mold and I didn't use it with polymer clay too. I just use with fondant and its doing great
