Molochite

Molochite is a specific type of grog. It is made of kaolin and is pre-fired at very high temperatures. It doesn’t expand much when heated, which means it can resist thermal shock well. If you want to make very large or complex pieces, you can add molochite to the clay. Adding molochite reduces the amount of stress your piece will be under during the firing and cooling process.
