Lepidolite substitute?
Hey all, I came across an old glaze recipe that I am interested in but it call for lepidolite. I can't find it from a retailer and understand the the mining of has stopped long ago. Anyone familiar with it? Anyone know of a substitute/work around? The ^6 recipe is: Talc 44.5 Lepidolite 54.5 Bentonite 2.0 Thanks much, Sarah |

Lepidolite is a Lithium based Feldspar and is still available in the UK,
so I think mining does continue. Steve Bath UK In article . net, Sarah Hembree writes Hey all, I came across an old glaze recipe that I am interested in but it call for lepidolite.

I forgot to put "Clayart" in the search string ;-) My bad. I think I'll make a bookmark for google that starts with "clayart" as the main string. In fact, here is one 'case anyone wants it: http://www.google.com/search?num=100...rt&btnG=Search Thanks again, Sarah Sarah Hembree wrote: Hey all, I came across an old glaze recipe that I am interested in but it call for lepidolite.
