Hi, I was reminded of a couple of tips I wanted to share whilst working on some tankards this week. Firstly on how useful second hand dental tools can be particularly V shaped ones in cutting groves in greenware with relatively smooth edges. They seem to be easily available at cheap market tool stalls for a couple of pounds. Secondly having used jam jars to store decorating slip only to find with my infrequent use they dry out over time. I now use Kilner jars( used for home preserves) that have a wired top with a rubber seal. The slip is always exactly the same consistency however long its left.
Steve.
