Hi,
Does anyone know how to test the clay for plasticity? This has been requested on a house build foundations.
Thanks

A standard, simple test for plasticity is to loop a pencil-size roll of clay around your finger. If the coil cracks excessively, the clay is probably not very plastic!

Good Luck!
