For Sizing Clay to Allow for Shrinkage
This three-piece clay shrinkage ruler set helps you size clay pieces to allow for the expected shrinkage of your clay body. Choose the scale that matches the known shrinkage percentage, then measure as you would with a normal ruler; the adjusted graduations build the shrinkage allowance into the starting measurement without requiring a separate calculation.
The set covers six shrinkage percentages, making it useful when planning dimensions for tiles, mugs, lids and other clay pieces where the intended finished size matters. The shrinkage rate of the clay body needs to be known before selecting the appropriate scale.
