I also have access to #266, which I saw some very interesting results from on a friends work.<BR/>Toothy doesn't really work well when you're after a smooth burnished finish. You can push the grit down, but as it dries and shrinks it pokes back out.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07791283568073889587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7039115778010858025.post-35405112763717350172008-09-05T08:20:00.000-04:002008-09-05T08:20:00.000-04:00Brian - your clay reviews are interesting.

Also I alter my pieces when wet & find I need a little grog to be successful.<BR/><BR/>Throwing with smooth clay body feels like throwing with butter to me! <BR/><BR/>I use Standard's #211 Hazelnut. I wish I had access to Highwater clays here.Judy Shrevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13817638135856406785noreply@blogger.com
