Lynette I'll check my info sheet on this in am when I'm in the studio and post it.I have both materials One thing our EPK (Kaolin) is most likely from a different source than yours?

Marcia Selsor Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 Go to http://wikiclay.com/wiki/kaolins Basically EPK is whiter and better in glazes and slip casting recipes. Tile 6 kaolin has titanium making an ivory color when use in clay bodies. I use Tile 6 in my raku clay. Marcia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilestrick Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 Tile 6 has a greater particle size distribution, and is more plastic, probably due to it's particle size distribution. It is not as white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not as white. Thank you for that. I thought there must have been some thing that was giving the cream colour. Now I will just do some exeriments and see what happens. Thank again.
