Before you ask, yes, I've checked the archives.
Has anyone had an experience with this that they would be willing to share?
I have been experimenting. My molds are Hydrocal, and I can cast my regular
throwing body easily.
I have several recipes for bone china casting slip; 2 at cone 6. My
ultimate aim is translucency, which is why I'm leaning toward bone china.
My experience thus far has been that the slip sets up REALLY REALLY fast,
giving me 1/4" walls before I barely finish pour. we're talking smallish:
tumbler size cylinders. I'd be willing to fire hotter with the right body.
Any suggestions, including ways I can beg borrow, steal or trade sex for a
Limoges throwing body, would be greatly appreciated.

Laguna has avaliable a Kaolin that is used extensively in the Bone China
Industry. It is very white and very translucent, it is the basis for our
Frost ^6 and 10 throwing bodies and the Glacer White ^6 casting body. You
can order it by asking for "New Zealand Kaolin " It is pretty amazing stuff.
