Is all cork heat resistant?

Cork has a thermal resistance of R-3.6 to R-4.2 per inch. This is a better value range than loose fiberglass (R-2.2 to R-2.9 per inch) and fiberglass batts (R-2.9 to R-3.8 per inch). The thermal conductivity of cork is 0.036-0.38 W/mk and its density is 7.0 to 7.5 pounds per cubic foot.

Can you cook clay in an oven?

Usually, you can bake the clay for 30-45 minutes per 1⁄4 inch (0.64 cm) of thickness.
