Possible Knapping Material

RidgeRunner:
Some of you may know that I work for a City owned Electric Company.
With a bit of "Dumpster Diving" I can get glass and porcelain insulators.
The glass insulators come in clear, light green, light blue and brown.
The porcelain ones are all white on the inside.

The glass should Knapp quite well but what about the porcelain??

Has anyone ever knapped a porcelain insulator??
Is it better or worse than johnstone?

I have yet to learn to Knapp so I cant answere these questions myself.

Thanks
David

JackCrafty:
Pictures? ;D

They should all work fine.  I've tried glass and porcelain dinner plates (for knapping) and glass works much better IMO.  No experience with insulators, though.

stickbender:

     Like Jackcrafty, said.  But if you have Glass, why bother with the porcelien, unless you just want to experiment. :)

             What they said....the Porcelain should knapp just like ohnstone (toilet Tank) does....but the Glass will be better!!

mullet:
 The big porcelan insulators knap pretty good.
