Thanks for the comments about the CS. All are welcome! Seems strange to me that this is the first time this has happened after making the stuff for so long. Maybe as you said, I didn't store it as long previously. Oh well. I will use the grey stuff on the outside and hurry after the rest of it for the inside before it falls out. You are right about clear. The clear with a nice fine Tyndall effect is still the same as it was. I will either have to pay more close attention to this making or actually buy one that does that all for me.
If I did that I would want a device that would be Y2K compliant. That is would run without wall electricity. Our electric utility supplier has already warned us that those of us in the rural mountains may well be without electricity in January because they don't actually know where all the remote switchers are. Isn't that a gas!!!!!!!! So who knows. I am pretty prepared for it, but strength is the issue. Also I use CS a lot so I would want a "portable" one I guess. Oh well, just thoughts. Happy Saturday, Susan
