Thank you to numerous Clayart buddies including Snail, Ken, Ababi, John Baymore, Roger Korn, Eric and Steve.....seems that the consensus is that most people use the 40 mesh sieve for sieving chunks from wood ash: or for slip; or for getting chunks out of native clays; or for cone 10 stoneware glazes. I wanted to post that list in case anyone else wondered about the uses. I have been wanting to experiment with slips, and I love wood ash glazes, so my new-found OLD sieve will get some good use.

Hello Tony.
The way Steve Mills has written: Mainly I am not sieving at all my
stoneware glazes except the ones that intend to be for food.
When I am spraying I use the roughest sieve in order not to close the
pipe of the sprayer on one hand but still have the big particles on the
other hand. My good old friend Shimon has made lately a new spray gun
with a larger hole in order to be able to spray my Soil&Ash glazes If
you enter to my site, you will find that some of the yellow glazes with
red iron oxide are mottled because the iron was not well stirred.
