When I opened the box and bag(no twist tie on bag) on 7/23/2012I found mold on all four sides. I went to exchange it for a different box. Upon checking this box it also had mold it was the only one remaining. I was given a refund. I then went to A C Moore in Willow Grove, Pa. which had two boxes both of which were moldy. On 7/24/2012 iwent to Michael’s in warrington, Pa., purchased another 10 lb. box of red air dry clay figuring different color and different store maybey different lot and no mold, I was very suprised to go home and open this box to also find mold. After many miles and so much time I decided to cut an inch or more to try to remove the mold wasting half the box of clay. Still some black spots in clay, not sure if its mold or not.I have made bricks(2000) and tile for floors (1000) for my 2 year old grand daughter and I would like to know if this clay is safe to use in a young childs doll house. Will this mold die once dried or will it come alive again when exposed to high humidity. P.S. Any information on this would be greatly appreciated.NONE OF THE BAGS HAD TWIST TIES OR SEALS OF ANY KIND. Thanks, [REDACTED] > ____________________________________________________________
