around here in n. nm, two traditional brick and floor sealers are (in
temporal order)
1. blood on rammed earth floors. bring a couple buckets to the slaughter
house, maybe when you need another horsetail, then flood the floor
repeatedly until it takes no more. History is silent on what to do with the
unsoaked-up blood.
2. motor oil on bricks. Used oil is fine. Soak for a couple of weeks. Takes
floorwax like a dream and has the patina of something that predates the
combustion engine.

Perhaps unrelated but true story. I was having trouble with the transmission
on a max wheel so when this fellow disassembled it he had to drain the fluid
and I had to hand him something FAST to catch it and a pot I really liked was
all I had so later I wondered how to clean it out but couldn't find
anything.IIt had 1/2' of fluid so I got the bright? idea to refire it.When
the kiln got red light hot I heard a muffled sound like a Volkswagon door
closing. So I walked back to the gas kiln to inspect and didnot see pots nor
shelves. It had exploded (the bowl being on the bottom , my coolest area
normally) AND TAKEN SHELVES,POTS AND ALL UP THEN DOWN COLLAPSING IN RUBBLE ON
THE FLOOR. bummer!
