Hi Mel, all,
How about 'Paper Clay' then for those gravity-fed
Water Filter elements that fellow was trying to
perfect for Africa and so on...where he was
impregnating them post-fire with Silver Iodide or
Silver Nitrate or whatever it was...
The right Paper Clay might be just the ticket then
for those...
They are not subjected to any strains or 'use'
other than sitting in the top of a Jar or
Carboy...far as I recall...
Just-a-thought...
Where is he at with those anyway, does anyone
happen to know?
Name escapes me at the moment...
