Had a piece of pottery sent for testing. The test came back .10 mg/L. The
test of done by Absorption Spectrophotometry. EPA states that action level
for lead is 20 ppb (.02 mg/L). So, looks like I will be parting with the
kiln soon as I had hoped to do funcation pottery. It's a Cress B-23-H (no
limit timer) with lots of kiln furniture, (and I live in Indianapolis.) If
interested, email joannephillipsindy@yahoo.com.
