that vinegar thing

Janet,

>> I also saw the note in CM about using just vinegar instead of doing
slipping and scoring. I had a piece where a joint had separated
during unskilled drying so I figured I'd try out the vinegar thing.
I took powdered clay body and mixed in a little vinegar <<

I join all my handbuilt pieces this way and never score the clay, I just use
vinegar and my clay body, Peggy Heer adds Karo syrup (? something sweet anyway)
to the vingar and clay and calls it spooze.

Works great, smells like pickles.
