Hi everyone, I just purchased a pack of 10 liter bentonite clay from messysuplies and I would like to know if you have any tips for mixing and the duration it has to remain untouched to get really thick. Would also love some pics or vids of you using or making it.

Bentonite comes in many different flavors and qualities. Experiment with what you've got and see how it works for you. Best advice I can offer is don't expect perfection right away. It can take quite a while to soak up a lot of water and mix. Be patient because you may be talking "days" here to reach a consistency you are happy with.
The Bentonite pictured below was industrial grade stuff from Wyoming that had months to years of saturation. It's not as "wammy" as any type of clay but it's easier to sink in, slipperier, and more fun to play in with somebody else if that's your thing.
