And do potential buyers know that Sue Ann has been generously giving the pattern away for free for years now?

I guess there’s always a slimeball out there somewhere.  bear_angry

Oh, I like the old LeFrays, EJ! What a great find.
The technique you describe sounds OK to me, especially if it saves you having to totally unstuff and re-stuff the body. I can also say confidently that the disks do need to be the same size, and I would stick with hardboard. (Just pm me if you need a couple of disks. I have most every size, and I’m not using them right now.) As for the cotter pin, you’d need to straighten it out in order to re-use it. You could start with that and see how well the metal responds.

Nice to see you here again, Jessie! I haven’t been able to make a bear in quite awhile due to arthritis, but I like to stop by the forum every so often.

You could also try placing the bear in front of an electric fan for a couple of days, and when the weather is warm, sunshine and fresh air (outdoors,just for a few hours) can work wonders.

Welcome to Teddy Talk, Katie!
This is the right section for your technical questions, though they sound fairly specialized! I have not worked with clay, so I won’t weigh in, but did want to say hello.
