Title: Ceramic tiles?
Post by: Prarie Bowyer on January 09, 2013, 01:14:36 am

So I read somewhere that porcelin can be knapped.  Some guys call souce "crapite" or "Pookite"?

Are there any sort of tiles that work well for knapping?

There are plenty of ceramic tiles that can be knapped.  Some just work better than others.  I picked up some small ones that were on clearance one day for about 5 cents each.
