Hey Folks,
Somewhere along the way I acquired about 50lbs. of Amaco Indian Red Clay F=
lower #67 and wonder how it was used, how much heat it can handle before it=
becomes a glaze, and is it ugly as a glaze?
Oh ya, TIA and stay in there eh?

Hey Gary,
#67 matures at cone 05 if fired to stoneware temps it turns into a
glaze.
