In the paragraph below - change increased absorption to DECREASED absorption

This is because machine mixing is better than hand mixing - and you get
more fluxing. Some mixers are more efficient than others so you need to be
aware this can happen.


Hint - always screen at least the fireclays through 30 mesh - better still
have someone mix this for you - but make sure they screen their dry clays -
get it figured out first - and allow for 1% (change to
decreased) absorption if machine processed as compared to prepared by hand.
