To make these recipes you need to buy 3D powder from Plainsman Clays. It is available in 20kg and 2.5kg bags and inexpensive.
Project Name 3D Vitreous Buff Stoneware Body Project Codenumber UnAssigned Notes Plainsman 3D has long been overlooked as a body material because it is silty and low in plasticity. Because of this we failed to notice its fundamental advantages: URLs 3D Information page at PlainsmanClays.com Pictures |
L211 3D:OM4:NS:Talc 42 mesh
Total:100.00 Notes *In this mix I am trying to maximize the percentage of 3D. It is reponding extremely well to talc as a flux, so almost not feldspar is needed to get the vitreous character.

L211 3D:OM4:NS:Talc 80 mesh
Total:100.00 Notes *This is the same recipe as L4115L2 but I screened the slurry to 80 mesh. There was very little oversize and the more liquid slurry (that screened easier) dewatered on the plaster batt very quickly).

MNS Cone 6 Fine Stoneware
Total:100.00 Notes *I wet screened the 3D to 200 mesh then dried it out to mix this recipe (later we screened it to 325 mesh and got even better results). The finer 3D is more plastic, so I was able to use a higher percentage of 3D. Pictures L4208C mug fired at cone 6 G2926B inside - Perfect result.

L4208C 3D porcelain/stoneware body - Cone 6 200 mesh. This is a stunning piece, strong as steel, clean burning. Inside glaze is milled G2926B, outside is G2926B.

3D MNS 325 Mesh
Total:100.00 Notes *At 325 mesh 3D is plastic and feels smoother than any porcelain I have ever used. It was relatively easy to sieve out the oversize particles, 80% or more passed the 325 screen. Removing those particle super charged the plasticity.
