Please log in for more thread options Yes I will definitely do that before going any further with it. Mostly I was
curious if it possibly could be some odd form of Neph Sye (a white/gray
material not buff brown as far as I know).
My last firing I did a canvas button test of all my materials. It was fun
to get that out of the kiln. In fact I liked it so much that I'm going to
do it again but the next time something a bit more fancy.
I would not use any new material without testing it but I won't even trust
this in a test glaze. I trust the unopened bags that have the labeling by
the manufacture but this made me realize I should not trust any self labeled
bag even if it did have something written a dozen times on the bag. I can't
imagine why the Laguna (Californa supply company) did not have the bag
labelled.
