Can any claybuds tell me what trisodium
phosphate is..... and where one can buy
it?
Thank you.

In the Mojave where I've completed the
second in my Marta Series of pots.
They're not easily confused with hers,
but her influence
is definitely discernible in the final
product.

Hi Joyce,
It is used as a de-greaser, particularly for cleaning
Kitchen Walls or other surfaces in preperation for Painting
them, especially if previous coats were enamel or some order
of gloss.
Also used in the Hospitality Business for cleaning Coffee
and Tea urns and so on...
Should be available at any earnest or Commercial Paint Store
or Restaurant Supplys-and-sundrys Stores...or likely even
'homeclubs' for all I know.
Comes as a dry whitish powder...if memory serve...and is not
expensive.
Wear rubber gloves...or, at any rate, keep it off your
skin...and, AND, do please protect your eyes.
As far as what-it-is in other terms?
I dunno...
...whatchagunna use it for?
Yer pal,
Phil
Las Vegas

Joyce:
TSP is marketed as a general purpose cleaner. It comes in a powder
in a box, and is available in any hardware store. If memory serves,
it's marketed in a blue red and white box under the brand SAVOGRAN
(sp?).
One caveat. It etches glass, so be extremely careful using it
around windows! I found out the hard way, years ago.
All the best,
Wayne Seidl

Hi Joyce,
Trisodium phosphate is inexpensive, and available at any hardware store. It is used for heavy
cleaning jobs. I've gotten some good results using it as a substitute for soda ash in shino type
glazes.

OH! In Belgium, that would be "St Marc" with the little angel on the box.
Joyce, what are you using it for? In pottery?
