Great idea! Thank you for the suggestion. I don’t have a subscription, but this may be justification.
Have an awesome day!

I’m sure Monona can handle that job probably better than anyone on the planet, but to save her from inundation, and FWIW, if anyone finds on doing an inspection
or whatever, a container with only an archaic or trade name, you might try RTECS [The Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances]. I always figured a subscription to that was worth it for this “switchbook” function alone.
Good luck,
Steve

Good morning!
A professor in my department is developing a lab for a chemistry in art course and would like to have students mix pottery glazes (on a very small scale and for
one experiment only) according to an old ‘recipe’ provided by our art department. The problem is that the names of the compounds as written in the recipe are not the actual chemical names, making it impossible to look up an SDS to research the hazards, and
the art department doesn’t have this information, maybe never did. They quit using the recipe because they’re not set up to handle the hazards.
I hope some of you who are knowledgeable about pottery glazes can help me identify the
real chemical names for these compounds, or point me in the right direction
for doing so. Because of the listserv’s permissions, I can’t attach the recipe to this email, but if you think you can help, please email me and I’ll send it to you for a look.
I'd be grateful for any help you can give!
