Here are the results of Sandsmans Carnelian after baking. Refer to this link for details: andy321.proboards16.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=1079071475 I must say, the look awfully yummy! John writes: "None of these where red except the three pieces that look alike. They had a thin red stripe going through them two (are at the bottom). The rest had like a yellow or orange color. The one with the stripe whet from about 1/4 inch to about 1/2 to 3/4 thick after cooked seeya john." Eat'um up. Yum yum hahaha!   |

hi all otter that was james idea i just stole it hahahaha he was tellin us he was cookin some up and i said hey i got some that could use allota help let me give it a try i was realy surprised how much some had changed but allso the stuff that looked very pale yellow or allmost clear didnt do much if anything so if you have some with even small spots of red or orange they have a good chance to get real nice thanks all for the kind words and thanks james now i feel like i acomplished something besides a chiped up batch of tears that i forgot to put pellets in for final wash hahahaha seeya--- john
