I've used tile-6 kaolin, gorgia kaolin and I've used grollig as a sub
for EPK, but the grollig seems to have a lower melting point. With all
of these, test, test, test.

Hi Dave,

Most Kaolins are very close - EPK is a plastic kaolin and may suspend
better than others is all.

I assume you will be close enough using a UK kaolin such as Grolleg.

If you want to send me the recipe I will calculate any changes that
may be needed - I have the analysis for grolleg but if you have
another kind of kaolin send me the analysis for it and I will use it.
