maorili Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 Hi, I used Terre RIF once, and was wandering about " 5 % Mica" in it. http://www.toepferspass.de/index.php/keramikbedarf/Fuchs-Ton-schamottierte-Massen-12/product-Terre-RIF-zimt-umbra@TR3015 This product is for rather low temperatures up to 1050 °C or primitive firing techniques. when you use it for lower temperatures, the mica will show (even after biscque firing) at "920 ° they sparkel " Mica is the glimmer in there. I don't know if you can use the digged out one as a component for your clay, but it is worth a try.. isn't it? Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
