Teri Lee,
Copper sand: R. Piepenburg
8 Gerstley Borate
2 Bone ash
1/2 Copper carbonate
1/4 Cobalt Oxide
1/8 Tin Oxide
THESE MEASUREMENTS ARE BY VOLUME
One set of instructions:
Mix the dry ingredients and save them dry.
Sprinkle or throw water on the surface and dust the powder
on the wetted pot.
I presume you know what result you are looking for there.
Please be very careful with that powder.
Be Well,
Tom King
