=?ISO-8859-1?Q?long,=20probably=20boring?=

Lili's discussion of clay bodies and Lynn Goodman's question about sagging
porcelain platters have brought to mind questions I have on B-Mix. I
understand B-mix is a porcelainious clay. But how similar is it to porcelain? Is
B-Mix a hgigh-talc clay? Mel recently wrote that high-talc clays have a strong
tendency to S-crack. Is porcelain a high-talc clay? If so, does it also
have the tendency to S-crack? Thanks to anyone who can shed some light on
all this?
