"That is my old porcelain that I formulated back in the 70's, and not even close to my current new porcelain. Georgia Kaolin stopped making kaopaque-20 8 to 10 years ago. I really encourage people to try my newest porcelain from Standard Ceramic Supply. It is extremly user friendly, beginners will throw larger pots immediately, trims like butter, extremely white, very translucent, actually starts to go translucent at cone 6, very low shrinkage, and no problems reclaiming it. There is not another porcelain that does all that this porcelain does. The extra money is worth it(I make nothing), and figure what you get for a one pound mug and then ask "what is 20 cents a pound extra?" I'd be happy to answer any questions anyone might have. tt@tomturnerporcelain.com
ReplyDeleteThanks Tom. I know this is not your new porcelain and that Kaopaque is out of production. It is just good to show people different recipes so that they can learn what makes a claybody.
