With this method,

"just dump your chips into a container of Mineral Oil and let them soak a while. You then take them out one at a time and rub them dry with a cotton towel. "

... I hope you were joking. That's a horrible thing to do to real clay chips.

That's good to hear. Seems like real clay would soak up liquids, at least a little. I'm engineer though. Swelling and all that ya know?

They do soak it up...that's why you only do this nutty stuff with real clay. On the otherhand...they are more of a ceramic material than 'clay'...so they are very stable. Imagine soaking a porous (spelling?) rock in water or oil. It's still a rock....maybe a bit prettier...but still a rock. No swelling or shape-changing.

That said, in my example on the site, the whole 'soak them in oil' process I refere to is usually less than 5 minutes....depending on how fast you're working. It's really a non-issue.
