On the underside, but think are you going to overlap the clay sheet? auntyalias: Well TLS is the fabric tac for clay sheets auntyalias: use it in the same way, but after you put the two sheets together, give it a wee mash auntyalias: to make them adhere better Betty: That's a great tip/lesson, NJ..thanks Katie: She works magic with those hands.
