ive been busy "playing" with a bag of fireclay it cost approx $10 au. ive had a lot of firebricks i scrounged from an old pizza oven for years. i ground these up into sand added fire clay and "potash" (potassium) mix six tins of "firesand" (grog) 4 of fireclay and desert spoon of potash dissolved in water about 2 cups. i used a small soup tin for a measure. i made a "crucible mold by casting the aluminium and machining it up. ive also lined a new furnace and still have about a sq ft of fire clay left. when my new furnace is dry i will be using it to "fire" more firebrick items. mostly crucibles and a crucible for a spin caster.
finished and set aside to dry.
