@Denice I too would super appreciate the plans for that extruder! Thanks in advance

I'm in Europe and can't find them at all, help!! I even called Aardvark Clay, my sorely missed supplier in the greater Los Angeles CA area, and even they don't have them! I've also contacted Scarva and Potterycrafts in the UK, nada either. It's for this recipe (published on Digitalfire.com): Cone 04 UltraClear Glossy Base Code: G3879 Modification Date: 2019-07-19 14:54:26 Material Amount Percent Fusion Frit F-524 850.0 82.9% Fusion Frit F-69 40.0 3.9% EPK

Thank you all!

I see. However, Tony Hansen, the creator of this body, its firing schedule and glazes, says the following (my underlining): ”The only solution was a switch to New Zealand Kaolin (which contains only 0.15% iron) and VeeGum. The result is dramatically better”. That’s why I was asking about where to buy these two materials in Europe. Has anyone had any success substituting them with Grolleg and macaloid as suggested by glazenerd?

I’m sorry, other than his suggestion of substituting with Grolleg and macaloid I don’t see any reference to where to source NZK and Veegum T in Europe. Am I missing something?

Does anyone know where to buy NZ kaolin and Veegum T in Europe? I recently moved to Spain from Los Angeles, where everything was so easy to find, and my searches for these two materials come up with nothing.... HELP!! TIA

I was afraid that would be the answer... Well, I did it. Let's see how it fires when it does! Thank you guys so much for all the suggestions!

Thank you! And by the way, I'm actually having the exact same problem as Chris above: crack at a joint (and probably even for the same reason!). I'm posting a picture to better illustrate it. The thickness of the wall and bottom is 1/2". I'm not too clear on how to go about applying the mixture to it, since it's not a case of joining two separate pieces. How much to moisten and how, with an eyedropper right over the crack, for instance? And then push the mixture into the crack? I don't want to make it worse... it would be great to salvage this piece.

Marcia, you're saying to just add toilet paper to the spooze recipe from TJR?
