Tony,
A penny just dropped here (sometimes it takes a while). Why grind the
Alberta Slip at all? It's clay, doesn't it slake? People could measure out
what they needed dry, add it to a measured quantity of water, let it slake
(stir, blunge, jiffy mix, whatever), add it to the glaze mix and save the
lungs of your workers and themselves and a lot of the expense for
respirators and such.
Or doesn't it slake? My main body won't slake unless it is ENTIRELY dry but
it does slake.
I was with Carla once when she bought some Albany that looked like a bunch
of dusty rocks! I call that pretty coarse grinding! And it was still
too expensive for my tastes.

Actually it does, however Alberta Slip is a fairly complex mix of raw
clays and refined minerals to match the chemistry of Albany. It has to
be ground together to get a good mix.
