Re: to squabble or not. - Bob is reinventing history,does anybody care?
Bob says:
"OK Linda ..... please tell me where I am "Just plain Wrong"? I won't
discuss this on this list anymore, but since you accuse me of being
wrong, please tell me where. Unless you don't have any guts and can't
substantiate your rather stupid claim."
And, then, his back against the wall, Bob participated in a little bit of
"revisionist history" by pretending that he originally said:
"I never said to stay away from these chemicals. I only tried to impress
upon how problematic they can be. It is simple: keep a vacuously clean
work area, make sure you do not allow children to handle these chemicals,
understand any antidote requirements, keep airborne dust at a very minimum,
do not dump the crap down a drain - dispose of in a recommended manner. Keep
poison control phone numbers handy, wear gloves, apron and eye protection,
learn all potential reactants, and do not experimentwithout knowing what you
are doing."
Baloney, Bob. What you actually DID say was:
"Do NOT assume {dichromatei] is safer than other ingredients used in
ceramics. Simply not the case.
<snip>
"As for common glaze ingredients - yes, there are potential hazards. but
nothing like Dichromate"
You are wrong. As has been pointed out, not only are many glazes more
hazardous, but the dichomate has been mostly washed away by the time the
firing begins.
Don't call me stupid.
Linda
