Winter Wind is a reformulation of the Flint Hills Cone 5/6 Porcelain. You should not notice a difference in workability or glaze fit. The body is almost identical, but the original included a bag of talc. We removed the talc and added a small percentage of 120mesh molochite to maintain the average shrinkage percentage in the original version. As a bonus, that addition also increases the green strength and reduces warpage a bit as well!
Average Shrinkage at Cone 5: 11.53% Average Absorption at Cone 5: 4.2%
Average Shrinkage at cone 04 bisque: 6.38%
Average Wet to dry shrinkage 5.5%
