Fire Lute

As a coating for vessels, to preserve them from injury from exposure to the fire, nothing is better than a mixture of ordinary pipe-clay and horse dung, made into a paste with water. This composition is used by the pipe-makers, and will stand unharmed the extreme heat of their kiln for 24 hours. It is applied by spreading it on paper.
