Reply to "Blackwater Canyon Line - March 20, 2025, Brick Street Extension Planning"

Mark when you make the brick imprint, either dunk the roller in water or sprinkle some on the clay. The extra moisture helps the clay release from the rollers. Another option is to let the flat clay rest for 10 to 30 minutes to let the surface dry some before you imprint. That will also reduce the tackiness. Glad you are getting lots of hits on the clay streets.  If you decide to do a curved street keeping even pressure for the imprint and rolling and turning at the same time  -- thats some trial and error. But it can be done. You are trying to roll one end slightly faster than the other, good thing clay slips.
