The kilnmaster says it might ruin the kiln, but I thought it would be like 
a glaze. Also I want to know what would happen if I put sand on my wet clay
and let it dry out and then bisque fire with my clay. What temp does sand 
melt into glass and what color would beach glass give you? I can not find 
anyone who can answer these questions and I really want to try these two 
things but dont want to ruin a kiln. Thanks, Leslie
