Algoessailing Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 I purchased a large lot of chemicals from a retired potter recently. This is one of the items from the lot. Being a new potter myself, seeing the powder was no help in identification but may help you. No spoilers: please don't post your answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Min Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 You don't want us to say what we think it may be? Do you trust what's on the label? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick White Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 There is an internet abbreviation RTFM. A modification of that is useful here - RTFL, where L is for Label. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose I should have said: I figured out what it was, and it made me smile once I did. It is obvious once its identified what the label reads. I thought it might make others smile as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callie Beller Diesel Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 It’s a fine bit of visual irony, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liambesaw Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 I don't get it... I can clearly read what it says, but I don't understand the irony. It appears to be exactly what it says on the label? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
