Hello Ron,

here is Smart-Conseil's last answer:


"Hello Ed,

I transmitted my personal experience to you, but my article reports
globally the experiments of those I know well, and the temperature of 135=
0=B0C
relates to glazes opacified with ZrSiO4 used in sanitary ceramics.

RRoy is nice, but say to him that I do not seek to torpedo ceramics and t=
hat
my infos
are checked and validated by, often industrial, experiments.

The vast field of application of ceramic products is impossible to summar=
ize
in articles with such general scopes, therefore I choose to point out the
most current
cases which I know well while allowing my visitors to ask me questions in
order
to give them them more precise details."

Hi Edouard,

You lost me some somewhere - what is the torpedo reference?

Perhaps he means that those who do not take care can affect all sales of
studio made ware?

What I wanted to know - is he saying he can make glazes at cone 04 which
will pass the leaching tests when using encapsulated cadmium stains?

If that is so it would be to our advantage to find out as much as possible
about glaze formulation and firing conditions.

Just knowing it is possible will be a help.
