Does anyone (Russell Fouts, for instance) have any more info on it? Is it
different than firebrick mortar (Sairset, or whatever)? Who sells it? Etc.

I am unfamiliar with Sariset, or any of the other american brands, but it is
definately not mortar.
it is a whitish, gooie substance that will dry out of not careful, but can be
mixed back to life with a little water.
From what I have heard, Amaco's Magic Mender works very well to.
Unfortunately it is discontinued. (dont know why.)
By the way, for glueing little bits of greenware, I use vinager.Works fine for
me.
For mending bisque I use powdered clay from the clay I used 50:50 Neph. syenite.
refire bisque.
Shows the least difference in body color. However does not glue.
Hope this helps

Another mender to try is a product called QF-180 from Carborundum. We
used this where I was in Grad school and brought some with me when I came
to Finland. To repair greenware mix it with your dry clay body or with very
thick slurry. Use ground up bisque shards to repair bisque ware. Let it
dry and then you can carefully sand off any excess. The repaired joint is
usually very strong after firing. It's terrific for those pieces that
you've been working for ever on and don't want to trash.

Lisa,
QF 180 is available through a company called Carborundum, I think and
they may be located in New York? I'm not sure as I got my supply when I
was in grad school.
