Hi Dean,

Try this - I don't see any great problem - you must test first to see if it
stays put - I've kept the alumina/silica ratio and the expansion the same.
Do a 500 gram test and have a cone beside it - let me know if it needs
tweaking - I don't keep recipes so include the original and this one so I
can see what I have done.
