Lily Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 Christmas is coming, and clay/glaze shortages are aplenty... I've run out of all my normal clay, and all that remains is an unmarked, untouched, twisty-tied bag of clay that I have NO RECOLLECTION of purchasing. I don't have time to test run it in a high/mid fire kiln load, and I have a few more pieces that need to be made. Is there any way I can figure out what cone it is without firing it? I've narrowed it down to either being Laguna's cone 5 half and half (but there's usually a sticker label), or an Aardvark low fire throwing clay. It's a light beige-y grey, and very smooth. Any suggestions? I'd REALLY rather not melt a bunch of nice dishes all over the bottom of the kiln shelf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark C. Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 No there is NO way other than testing. Ceramics is about technical things and this is one-no short cuts head over to Alpha and pick up some known clay welcome to the forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldlady Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 and buy a fat sharpie so you can label all future purchases on the bag itself. if you need to remove that sharpie label later, use hair spray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
