There are several ways to embed posts. This method is efficient, cheap, and neat.

What do you mean by proper PPE?

When I clean with acetone, the clay turns
white.

[@phoenixspruce4344]

Ugh I’d rather just stick to glueing. Just knowing that I have destroyed and dug a hole into my piece and then filled it up, would bother me

This looks like a very tedious and time consuming way to embed posts even once you get the hang of. I’m sure you’ve done it a bunch and hang of it but still takes a while with many chances to ruin your piece. I would hate to dig a hole in the back of my earrings compact clay structure to fill it with liquid clay.. It’s like filling a pothole the evidence is always there & it’s never as compact as original laying
