Notes

A popular buff firing plastic Missouri fireclay of fine particle size. It fires a light color with approximately 10% shrinkage at cone 10. Ground to 35 mesh.

Val Cushing recommends it as a substitute for Pine Lake Fireclay and with 15% Lizella red as a substitute for PBX Fireclay.
Jim Robinson has done much work with this material and observes that it is variable and shivers common glazes.
