>> I've just made a huge batch of red terra sig (my first time!) and now have
a large amount of red leftover sludge in the bottom of my pail. Is there
anything I can do with it, or do I have to throw it out? The sludge is ball
clay, silica and red iron oxide. I thought about using it for slip
decorations for ^10 firings but don't know if that's a good idea. Any other
thoughts for usage? <<
Try it!
I use the left over sludge from my white sig (all ball clay) to make a
thick slip for raised and inlaid decoration. Works great.
You'll have to add a LOT of something to keep it from settling out I add
Epson Salts, A LOT!
Have fun experimenting.

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that
we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only
unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American
public." --U.S. President (and Nobel Peace Prize winner) Theodore
Roosevelt.

use a few drops, just tiny drops, of muriatic acid in about a pint of it
and blend it in a blender. It should stay suspended and creamy.

Any hardware store will have it. Get the small container as you will not need much.
