Thank you William for the URL to the Crystalline forum. I will surely
make use of this line of communication and glad to learn of it.

Llewellyn:
There is a forum specifically devoted to all things crystalline which is
frequented by Bill Schran:

In Pottery Making Illustrated Sept/Oct issue 2007 is an article about CONE 6
Crystals. In this article by William Schran a description is given for
making 3/4 inch thick biscuits out of equal parts by volume: alumina,
kaolin, and sawdust. My question is -should one bisque fire these first? or
just use them underfoot as a support. It didn't seem to be clear to me but I
would assume you would bisque the 'biscuits' before using them as shelf
protectors in the glaze fire?
