There was a thread on kiln wash about a year ago on clayart, and I thought
I saved the info. I didn't. I can't seem to find one in my books (brin
damage from the winter storms and my no longer broken arm). I would
appreciate a receipe.
Thanks in advance.

townspeople are considering a lottery to predict when the snow bank from
boro street clearing will melt

A simple "recipe" I have used very successfully (and cheaply!) is equal
weights of flint (200 mesh) and EPK. I've used it in both red and ox ^10.

I've always used 50% EPK and 50% Alumina Hydrate for kiln wash...
