Steve ; Here are two very fine slips for use in a wood kiln
the first I call cockroach yellow which I got from John Neely and I think
he got from Peg Malloy
Cockroach
90 EPK
10 Nep syn
10 Titanium Dioxide

Second is from Australia called Tony's Blaze
Tony Nankervis
Tony's Blaze
41 nep Syn
41 alumina Hydrate
12.5 EPK
5.5 Bentonite
this slip does not like to go on thick nor does it like to be touched by
any other glaze than shino.So be careful when put your liner glaze in.
It is a beauty!!!!
Both of these slips go on leather hard.
good fire!
