  • Firing brick...

    This house was built around the early to mid-1860's. I have a nice supply of the original brick and prefer to use that to repair some portions of the outside. The problem is the inner layer of baked-but-not-fired brick got mixed in with the outer layer of baked-and-fired brick. I have a large kiln used for ceramics. I'd like to glaze all the bricks for exterior use. Where might I find info to do this? I need approximate temps and times, as well as glazing product info. Any suggestions?

    common bricks [red clay] are fired at 800 degrees for two days, then let cool then refired at 2552 degrees fahrenheit for three days and allowed to cool. albany slip has glazes available.
