jrgpots Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 I found this on ebay. It is a 23-24" saggar with lid for $25.00. Is it worth it? Where else can one get saggars? I have some refractory clay. Would it be better to throw a saggar with the refractory clay? Jed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilestrick Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Who knows how many firings that saggar has been through and how many more it will last. Could crack in your first firing. Better to make your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcia Selsor Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 I am doing an experiment with some on Mark's crack repair on an older saggar of mine. So far so good. Marcia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrgpots Posted April 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 I make my own with raku clay I will throw and slab build a few saggars with the raku clay and save the refractory for other uses. Neil, you have a great point about not knowing the firing history of the saggar in the pic. Thanks. Jed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may have been putting all sorts of nasty stuff in it that's going to fume out into your pots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biglou13 Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Any chance any one have a saggar clay body recipe. Using saggar xx as ingredient? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Miller Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Any chance any one have a saggar clay body recipe. Using saggar xx as ingredient? I think sagger xx is just a ball clay, don't think it's used specifically for saggars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilestrick Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Any clay that is quite groggy and matures hotter than your peak firing temp will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
