I did it!!!! Well, at least i did something. Getting ready was the hard part. That 95lb bag was in the back of the SUV so I put a bucket under it & slit the corner open. Bucket 1/2 full was about all I could easily carry so 3 trips getting it all moved back to the GH.

So I made my slurry. Was too thick; added more water, still too thick; added the rest of the container & it may have been a bit too much. Since I don't bake, the concept of cake batter is not well known. Mushed the towel around in the slurry. Let it sit a bit. Mushed more. Draped. Then had enough left to do a hand towel.

Glad I used the mid-forearm length heavy duty rubber gloves. Still got the goop up over that length, but I am a slob!!!!!

They are hanging over the 4X4s & drying. I do need to get longer 4X4s. And I need to cut pieces of wood to put btwn 4X4 & pot to keep the pot from bending w weight of towel.

Guess tmrw I'll know if my mixture was the tight consistency. Fingers are crossed.
Blessed are the Quilters for they are the Piecemakers.
