Is there a detailed description of what these problems with Chromium
are? My last firing I felt quite ill and did not have a great vetalation
set up in the kiln room. Now that I read this I am a bit concerned.
Also, we are using the bowls for food. How bad is the leeching problem?
The Chromium was dispirsed in a clear glaze that was purchased in a dry
form, so I have no idea what is in it. (by the way, it looks great on a
white B-Mix cone 5 clay.
There's my questions for the day....
