What Are Rare Chemicals To Look For

I just got a bunch of free stuff. Had to move it down a flight of stairs and I am now 61, so I am a bit choosier at what I tale.

Cobalt Carb is the first thing. it's about 435.00 an ounce here. Look for a small margarine container. i scored on this one.

Anything you use for glaze making, you should take, like gerstely Borate, Flint, Ball clay, Custer spar.

 

any torn bags of white powder with no label just leave. these are not a bargain to deal with.

I still have a big crap-load of Flourspar that I will never use in a million years. Makes a good green, but I don't use it.

Free materials is always like Christmas, but only if you know what the stuff is and how to use it.

Enjoy!

It's a kaolin that has trace elements of iron. It flashes like you wouldn't beleive when applied as a slip.

What's the name? WHAT the NAME???

Doug Casebeer used to use it.

That's it. Thanks, Mark. Avery Kaolin. They stopped mining it around 1983.

They had some g 200 feldspar, nytal talc, General Frits, other Frits I've never seen before.

Tenn#10 clay, # 1glaze clay, old bags of EPK, prepared stains...

One bag labeled cobalt carbonate but was black??? Is this possible?

More when phone recharges.

Could be cobalt oxide. worth testing.

The talc could be the asbestos NY 100 Talc?

The tenn is most likely ball clay just like OM#4

EPK nevers goes bad

The cobalt is also most likely oxide-please send it to me for my black glaze

the frits well I own a bunch but never use any of them as I avoid them

G 200 is good stuff

Pm me for address to send unknown black powder

435.00 per oz? I need to move to your area. Someone recently GAVE me 5 pounds of cobalt carb. Where I live it sells for about 40-50 dollars (US) per pound.
