Hi:

If you run across a glaze that calls for Colemanite and you want to use
another raw material that comes close to satisfying this requirement, use
Cadycal 100. It has the same oxides as colemanite with just a twinge of
MgO. No other material available comes as close as Cadycal.

I told Smudge Ringtubb and Momoyama Larry down at the Potter's Recycling
Center in Moclips about this Meyers-Briggs stuff and all they said
was: BFD!! They were parting out a bunch of Spinning Tigers and didn't
care about M-B because they needed some R&R.

TTFN, Craig Martell in Outer Space.......Oh, the colemanite stuff is for
real!! :>)
