Would anyone care to share it if they have one?

Also, I'm wondering how one knows if a slip
is vitrious or not. Is there a test? Or do you
just know from the ingredients? Sort of like
knowing broccoli when you see it. =20

I wish I knew what "vitreous" meant. There are slips that vitrify (is that
the same as vitreous?) at cone 6. porcelain doll makers use it. Used for
slip casting.
