nairda Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Can Alberta Slip Clay be successfully calcined at Cone 06 or does it need a much lower temperature? The only information I've been able to find indicates bisquing to Cone 014. Since I don't fire anything else that low was wondering about bisqueing at Cone 06. Concerned that it may begin to melt at that point. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spadefootclay Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 I've calcined it with a batch of 04 bisque, without any melting or problems. It did get a bit "crunchy" so I just mashed it in a mortar/ pestel so it would better pass thru the sieve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nairda Posted March 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 Thanks. I went ahead and put about a tablespoon of it in a very small bisqued bowl in my kiln last night to test the outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
