    Crooked Lawyer Potter got a reaction from Hulk in Specific Gravity Less than 1.0 !?!   
    Mystery solved!  I weighed the syringe again and found the error.  I had recorded its weight as 28g but its actually 23g and a re-weigh of the full syringe was 75g this time not 70 as before.   So, 75 less 23 is 52 x 2 is 104.  
    Thanks to you all for your input.  I'm going to assume that SG cant be less than 1 after all.

    In the hope that someone else may benefit from this:
    Not sure where I saw this idea but it has helped me a lot in putting handles on cups.  (I dont "pull handles", I make them out of a small coil).  It lets me concentrate on the attachment without having to worry about holding the cup and it gives me a firm foundation on to which I press the handle connections.  I threw and bisqued the bullet shape with a hole at the bottom into which a rod goes.  The other end of the rod is stuck into a hole drilled into the table edge.  Put a sock over it for softness.  The cup to be "handled" goes over the bullet and is held conveniently in place while I attach the handle.

    Thank you all. The pins do push in to release the two halves although its not easy to do. Ive also learned that it doesnt hurt to wash them out well. Its working now and in a zip lock bag to protect.

    Wonderful explanation.  Now if I can only remember it tomorrow when I'm stirring that damn stoney matte glaze.

    Missy 
    i too am experimenting with this. Try 2 parts oxide and 1 part gertsley borate. Mixed with enough water (5-10 parts?) to make it the consistency of ink.  
    ( i suspect you will get better advice but if not .... )
