Previous Keuper users should test before use.
Contains around 7% of a -40's mesh buff sand.
Superb body for tiles, slab work, large pieces and murals alike.
High resilience and good warp resistence, yet the relatively smooth texture allows detail to be captured.
This body takes on a deep red tone at 1180C / cone 5.
Exercise caution when firing above Cone 6 or if reduction-firing, as the high oxide content makes this body prone to bloating.
Please see image for colour response at different cone numbers. Pot in main image has been fired to Cone 5.
