Ingredients

Ingredient Amount
Nepheline Syenite 30.00
calcined-epk 20.00
thiele-kaolin 50.00

Instructions

Thiele kaolin needs to be applied very thinly, so the consistency of the slip should be a little thicker than skim milk. I recommend one quick dip only. If this is applied thick or has excess drips, the slip will craze and fall off the pot after firing.
