Look at page 222, at the bottom. That should help. Look back from there and I think it will be close, where he posted about the kiln, as well.

Pucked up and ground 400 more grams of powder. Used 3% moisture this time - similar grinding results though even though I probably did 20 passes, most with the coarse setting.
Ended up with a bit over half 3F, the rest fines. May need even more water. Or perhaps I can just deal with it as is. It's very functional after all.
Got the 3F glazing right now.
And since I'm building up more and more powder, it really needs to go into a bottle.

Thanks Doublebuck! That "search" function is worthless.
I like that label Printedboolits! Nice work, and thanks for sharing it!

I looked through my test notes and found an approximate date to search. It got me fairly close.
This thread is definitely the buried gold mine of BP making. I was able to make "powder" watching Jake, but the tips in here let me make great powder much more easily.
Take a bow BP buddies you earned it.
I'm interested in that too so I'll just link it here https://castboolits.gunloads.com/sho...=1#post5274502
