I just bought several bags from them. Haven't used any yet. Figured
since I'm getting into this glaze calculation thing I wouldn't have
to worry about a steady supply of something consistent, and since I'm
starting from scratch I figure consistency is the biggest issue, not
exactly what it is.

Hi Eleanor - the key is a current analysis for the material you have - did
Laguna supply an analysis?

I would not by or use it if I could not have a batch analysis.
