FAQs
Do I need to wrap the legs after applying Recup Clay?
No, this product is designed to be used without bandages or plastic coverings.
Can I use this on a horse with sensitive skin?

How long should I leave it on for a cooling effect?
A 10-minute application is sufficient to provide a cooling effect on the leg tissues.
Can I leave this on overnight?
It is not recommended for overnight use; the clay is designed for active recovery cycles of up to 90 minutes.
Is it safe to apply over small cuts or scrapes?
No, you should avoid applying the clay to any open wounds, broken skin, or mucous membranes.
What is the primary benefit of the lithothamnion?

Troubleshooting
Clay is too dry in the container
Add a small amount of water to the tub and stir well to restore the desired consistency.
Clay is difficult to remove after drying
Use a hose to soak the dried clay for a few moments before brushing; do not scrape the skin harshly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This product is ready to use immediately out of the container; no mixing or dilution is necessary. Ensure the horse’s legs are clean and free of dirt or sweat before application to allow the bentonite minerals to make direct contact with the skin. After the desired duration has passed, remove the product by rinsing thoroughly with cool water. Use a soft-bristled brush to gently loosen any stubborn areas if necessary. Store the container in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is sealed tightly after every use to prevent the clay from drying out prematurely. Keep the product away from freezing temperatures to maintain the consistency of the minerals.
