What is bentonite clay and where can I get it?
Bentonite clay is just another type of powdered clay. It has more bonding strength (is stickier when wet) than fireclay. It is best used in molding sand formulas. The most popular sources for it as far as I know are pottery supply warehouses, some farm supply stores and well drilling outfits. A lot of people tell me they have trouble finding fireclay. I guess its just a matter of what part of the country you live in. Some people have used plain, fragrance free kitty litter which is made of bentonite clay. The only problem is that you’ll probably have to grind it into a powder. Some people however get lucky and the kitty litter they obtain readily dissolves in water forming a smooth mush which can be dried out and used.
