Thank you, thank you, Dannon. This is a question that continues
to come up in my mentoring program as well as for my own use.
I don't know what has kept me from testing these two before this to
find out for myself ....... goodness knows I test in about every kiln
load, including the bisque loads....... stick in small bowls or smaller
than saucer size plates...... but for some odd reason I always get
hung up on the concept of a stony matt. You, as often happens,
have now made my foggy confusion dissipate to where I'm ready
to do more than ponder on it all.
To make my foot dragging even odder, I've been looking for a "buttery
matt" since a few months after beginning pottery. I saw a fish plate
that I adored and "somebody" told me that the glaze was a buttery
matt. I asked about it on Clayart at the time, but somehow my non-
informed mind translated the "buttery matt" to a "clear or transparent
matt." Many clayarters kindly pointed out that there was no such
animal as a clear matt, and why it couldn't exist. (I hope I have that =
right;
if not, some other kind bud will clear it up I trust.)

in the Mojave preparing for NCECA....... I have plane reservations and
think that is the best way to go in March crossing the mountains..... =
but
I'd sure like to drive and have room for all the "stuff" I've =
accumulated
to take along. Wonder if mailing a box to myself at the Red Lion would
work?

Yes, you can indeed mail or ship a box ahead. Just
tell the hotel to expect/hold it for you. They've done
that for me, and in fact that is how I got t-shirts to NCECA.
