Doreen, Ed, Phil,
Are you guys talking about straight kaolin or the more refined commercial
product marketed as "Surround?"  Thanks,
Richard (Ozzie to you, cuz)

Surround, is what I mean.

BTW, the apples I bought had a fine white haze all over them, and I
immediately recognized it as kaolin.  Made me want to buy them, knowing that
the grower used few chemicals.  But, I notice that they don't sell very well
at the grocery.  Consumers are not educated--let's face it we fruit nuts are
few in number compared to the general population.
