WHOA!!!!!!!!! Okay, that was an ipiphany....It just goes to show ya that
you shouldn't listen to what people say but search out the truth for
yourself. I had always and forever lived under this subtle fear of causing
a glaze to settle rock hard to the bottom with too much Bentonite just
because my very first teacher told me it would. And yet, epsom salts were
always thrown willy nilly into a bucket of glaze with little concern!!!!
Thank you Ron!!!!

About to go to my first classes at the University of Lincoln including a
glaze formulation class with Pete Pinnell armed with a little more smarts
than I had before!
