  13. Was doing a forum search on rare eath oxides such as Yttrium, Holium, and Samarium: wonder why these never came up in topics before?

      I refer to them as oxides because most usually do; they are actually lanthanides.

      Interesting- had to google it. The oxide is used in glass and it is an interesting read.

  19. Made a slip from my new clay formula and cast my 12 x16 arched tile mold yesterday. Popped it out of the mold and hour later and it is still perfectly flat this afternoon. First time that has happened.

      Joseph: so far all I have to do is roll and cut. I do not touch them again until they are bone dry. No turning or weighting- cuts labor way down.

      Iron content is a typo I just now seen: should read 0.18%
