Stephen 379 Report post Posted August 7, 2018 OK I am stumped and can't find anything on the net. I have 3 boxes of cones - 5,6,7 colored and I have 3 boxes of cones 5b,6b,7b that are all white can't figure out what's different about them other than color and can't seem to find anything on the net. Anybody know the difference? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

neilestrick 3,330 Report post Posted August 8, 2018 I don't know about the 'b', but in the olden days the cones weren't colored. Low fire cones were terra cotta red, all others were white. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stephen 379 Report post Posted August 8, 2018 (edited) not sure when I will get around to calling but here's a pic. I bought 5,6 & 7's from a supply house in Dallas. Just noticed because unpacking rest of boxes from studio move from NW and those do not have the 'B' designation. Maybe its 'bigly' Edited August 8, 2018 by Stephen 2 LeeU and Rae Reich reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
