Close-up of Mound Clay

Mar-Co Mound Clay is a virgin raw clay processed to a fine texture and is available in a dry or moisturized form. Moisturized Mar-Co Mound Clay becomes "putty-like" which allows it to be formed and shaped while retaining it's firmness and durability. Due to its bonding ability, it is very useful for building and maintaining pitcher's mounds and batters boxes. On the other hand, Dry Mar-Co Mound Clay is used as a binder on sandy materials.
