Well there I am with egg on my face for saying Colemanite can be
used as a sub. Can't trust anything you read, so they say, 'they' seem
to be right!
I am right about my Colemanite walking off the pots though, it does
the same in a ^6 fire, but loving my eyebrows, I have not opened the
kiln to look, just saw the evidence on the shelves. I did, however see it
in a raku fire, it nearly reached the shiny stage, then levitated off that
pot and settled on the shelf, no doubt to hatch more evil plots.
Thanks David and Doug, for teaching me the error of my bookish
ways
