I'd be careful about this stuff. I've used GK129 and Bentolite. They are
twice as white but way less plastic. We use
Volclay Microfine bentonite. It is so incredibly plastic that 1% will
do as much as 5% of a white-burning material and that small amount does
not darken the fired color in any noticeable way.
