And, I never saw you kneed your clay once (which was very dirty at the end). When I clay, I work it almost the speed you do, but for alot longer. I constantly inspect it and kneed it before it gets too dirty. This will decrease marring and increase the working strength of the clay. After I clay antire panel (usually kneeding multiple times) I take a small sheet of celophane and glide it over the finish to magnify any missed areas and then I'll redo/finish. Try it next time and compare.
The video was edited that way to make it easier to see what I was doing. The clay was also not kneaded for demonstration purposes to show how much contamination clay could pick up.
