Thank you, Dave.
I feel better. It has been 8 mos with Pergo
and have had no glitch.
I am careful, too
in mopping with a minimum of any H2O
Many friends experiences
are positive too (and most are
complete wood floor devotees.
I found that clay did NOT
seem to scratch my Pergo when
I was careful to clean it intelligently
(I didn't let a 50 pound lump sit on the floor
forever, and did not grind grog into the floor with my heel)
Now a kiln query for all
--I like to work fairly large (not bigger than 2' tall, of course...)
A small elecrtic kiln
for me in my house--Kickwheel in Atlanta delivers
to me for free--for under $700 what do you think I need/want
(Remember, my art is 90% 2-d--painting, etc--and 10% clay)
Advice, all?
