I was cleaning out the stuff way at he back of the glaze room at the college
studio and found two bags, one labeled Apache and one labeled WG Stone.
Does anyone have a clue as to what these ingredients are?
TIA

I bet that somebody gathered some natural material and cleaned it up
to put in glaze trials. They probably named it with a unique name.
I pity anyone who has to make sense of my labeled bottles after I am
gone. I do this all the time: - Santa Margarita Slip clay (Gathered
atop Santa Margarita Hill in nearby city), Zimmer ( clay from under
my neighbor's new patio when they dug it , Galinas Creek Mud. Make
my day (stone dust gathered from the quarry where Clint Eastwood
uttered those words) and so on. Fred

Fred; Most of the " dug up stuff" that I have is labeled with letters
and numbers ie. 11A 1/31/04.
I like your way much better. I'm a changed person. Will "make my day",
make my day! :o) God, I love this list.

Hi,
I've just noticed I managed to post my comment away from the original
question, so in case it was missed:
WG stone may be Cornish stone.
A company I used to work for processed this and labelled it WG Stone as =
an abbreviation for Wet Ground Stone.
In apperance it was lump of approx. thumb size, damp at around 10% =
moisture and a very pale green/blue colour. (The lalter is from a =
vegetable identification stain and not as has been suggested from =
fluorine. Without the stain, which burns out, it would be white.)
If you email me a scan/photograph of the label I can confirm or =
otherwise.
Also, and whilst not definitive, fire a small amount to 1300oC. If it's =
a flux glass will be formed though if it's a refractory material, say =
kaolin or quartz, it'll still be friable.
Regards,
Andrew
