Thanks, I’ll get on the things in the read this first section! I’ll steer clear of the cement then, just asking because I am just starting out and making a forge out of an old stainless steel keg and I am needing to line it. Here’s a pic of part way in (if anyone is interested haha)

I am not sure if I missed this but when making your own clay, what are your thoughts on mixing the bentonite (cat litter) with sand and cement. Would the cement hold it together in a similar fashion to some straw?
