I would never use 06 (low fire clay) for floor tiles or counter tops. Of
course I have absolutely no empirical data to back that up with... In my
mind the low fire clay is too porous and will be destroyed under foot
traffic. You want to use a stoneware clay 6 -10. I believe the clay should
go through the vitrification process you find in high(er) fired clay. Am
interested in knowing if I am completely off track. Thanks. Steve in

I am planning on making tile. I have some ^06 clay but I am not sure
if it's the right type of clay. What kind of clay would be best for
floor tile ? Can the same clay be used for countertop tile ?
