Why the soda ash?

Dear Russell,
I use soda ash becasue that's what one uses when breaking down natural
fibers when making paper out of natural fibers such a cat tails.I just
thought of adding it for good measure. I use linter sheets for paper
pulp. Perhaps it isn't a good idea to break the fibers down too much
which would defeat the asset of adding dry to wet or vice versa. I use
paper clay mainly as a filler to lighten the weight of large slabs in
Raku.
