State whether the following is true or false.
A high plasticity index always makes a clay body better for forming.

  • A.True
  • B.False
  • C.True only at large scales
  • D.False only at small scales

Answer: B

A very plastic clay is easy to shape but shrinks a great deal on drying and is prone to cracking. Bodies are blended to reach a workable middle rather than to maximise plasticity alone. Grog and sand are the usual leaning additions.
