    We used to do this as a form of play during the 90's when we were children.I remember if there were cracks on the surface we would just spit on it and then smoothed it out. This is kinda nostalgic.

      @kalimer0968 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I'm still looking for a good video of the whole process. The best explanation I have seen so far is on here:
      www.kyokyo-u.ac.jp/youkyou/4/english4.htm --> uh...some japanese professor I think? Fumio Kayo is the guy's name.
      You can also reach that same site via Bruce Gardner's hompage, where he has his own explanations: dorodango.com
      That first site has time estimates for the drying and some videos of different stages. I've tried it a few times, but so far, my results have been pretty underwhelming
      ( T __T)
      Uh! Also this youtube video:
      watch?v=I5p7PN4a7gg
      It's a japanese step-by-step for children. Mute it and just watch. It at least gave me a good idea what to look for.

    • @kalimer0968
      @kalimer0968 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Oh also also, to give you a more direct answer: You kinda don't. Not seperately at least. Pouring the dirt over it again and again, and brushing of the excess with your hands, is a bit like using really fine sandpaper, plus it fills out small gabs in the surface. So the making is the polishing.
