Not sure what type of bricks your talking about but,This brickyard makes a silica brick made from ganaster rock which was quarried on site.no clay was used that I can recall. I mixed mud (for the bricks) for about a week.And I don't remember any clay going into the mix. We used a Red Iron oxide dust, came in bags, Lime, crushed ganister, water, a glucose type solution that was like syrup. Hope this clears it up.[:)][quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by rails5 Musicman, perhaps showing my ignorance but I thought that clay was still a key ingredient of brick. If so, was your brickyard located at a clay site, or was this another incoming item? [/quote]
