EPK Kaolin 25.00
BALL CLAY AK 25.00

The way RR gave me, my feldspar are slightly different.
I think I added 10% molochite!

The main point is that you can use any claybody as paperclay in raku.
I add to the claybody deflocculant this way: I consider 13 kg humid ( 28.66 pounds) as
there was ten K'g dry: I add to 10 Kg dry claybody 10 grams of sodium silicate and 20
of soda ash- into the water about - 0.4-0.5 liter per I k"g claybody.
The pulp I make out of egg cardboards it is recycled already. I soak the paper in water
about 24 hours, add some bleaching liquid 5 M"L.

After I mix the clay with water and defloculante, I add 30% pulp in volume mix and dry
on plaster boards.
