David,

Yes - jesting is all. Just felt like having a little fun at your  
expense. Still, some little bits of wonder.

>> Hi David,

>> I'm sure you know but - just to add some clarity...
>>
>> To calcine: drive off chemically combined water at around bisque
>> temperature. In the case of clay to render it non plastic.
>>
>> We use clay in our glazes to help suspend them while we are glazing.
>> The more clay (Kaolin (un-calcined) and ball clay the better the
>> suspension. Glazes with less than 10% kaolin often suffer from fast
>> settling. The fix then may be subbing in ball clay, adding bentonite
>> and/or adding a suspender or maybe just changing the water source.
>>
>> A water softener system adds sodium to water - sodium is a deflocculer
>> and can result in glazes settling.
>>
>> Those of you who bisque low (below cone 04) may have settling problems
>> because you have to keep your glazes thinner. If you bisque higher you
>> can keep your glazes thicker and that by itself may cure the problem.
>>
>> Adding a calcined kaolin to a clay body would be called for if the
>> clay was too tight and too plastic (shrinkage over 12%.)
