Thanks, Monona, for the info about silver. I for one am not going to play
mad chemist, but I do have a friend who is talking about using film as
combustible for raku post firing reduction to see if there might be some
effects from the silver in the film. Is this a definite NO-NO or what? I
realize that she will be outside if she does this, but should she try it
at all? Since she isn't a clayarter, I relay messages which may be of
interest to her. Thanks in advance for this one. Carolyn, aka CNC
