Im not to sure if I like it at the moment to be honest. I filled a glass with water, and dunked a couple clay pebbles inside for 2 minutes. They started disolving, and once I took them out they squished together easily. Im not sure if I want a big fat clump of clay sitting in the tank after a few months. Dont wanna spend all this time and money and have to take the crap out right away.
Tonight I brought over a small baggie of fired pellets over to the clay shop. She is going to fire it at regular 1900 degree temps. Im assuming it will burn to a crisp, and all the positive calcium properties will be turned to ash. CONE 18, is rought 900-1000 degrees, and may work better. It will burn the peat, but wont affect the calcium to badly. Plus, after 900 degrees, she said clay will not revert back into it's soft form immediately (I trust her, she is like 70 years old and has worked with clay all her life). My oven has a self cleaning cycle that reaches 900 degrees. I think I might try it myself this week and test the results.
