Alisa og Claus Clausen on fri 15 jun 01


Dear Ryan,
I cannot remember if Steven told me this, probably. I use a scrubbing =
cream like the ones for bathtubs. Or just a scrubbing powder, but the =
cream has not dust. Otherwise, I wash the pots off in the wet sand =
where I am rakuing. All of the above work easily to reveal the white =
whites. Just careful not to apply to much pressure. In my enthusiasm I =
had once cracked in two an otherwise nice pot.
Hope you get good results,
Alisa in Denmark
