Dear John,
I could not get Clayart's server to answer you. Unfortunately, fortunately,
nothing is left out. As you know recipes, do not have to add up to 100, it
is just convenient for the math. However, this is a recipe I have tried
under different names, and could not believe that I got duped again! It has
never produced anything else but beige and streaky in my firings, but maybe
something else for you. It is also called POP.
thanks for writing, regards from Alisa in Denmark
very excited to open the tests tomorrow of lichens, crawls and Gartsides.
