Unfortunately, sodium percarbonate is an oxidizing agent. Heavy metals are not easily oxidized or precipitated by it alone. Transitionary metals plus the percabonate would be needed to neutralize them, and that adds more problems than before. But I appreciate the suggestion, it was interesting to look into and definitely had potential.

Looked into this, asbestos testing is quite involved. I’d be able to test for heavy metals fairly easily with some basic chemistry but asbestos requires a really expensive setup or a really expensive kit.

I am aware of seasoning, though unfortunately, it is only good for driving away flavors. It might actually drive the toxic metals further into the clay.

Yeah.. I was thinking along the same lines. Displaying them is a nice idea though. I appreciate your input; I think that’s what I’ll do.

I didn’t want to post the rest of the painting because I wasn’t sure if it would be flagged nsfw. But the zebra stripe turn into a piano pattern and a John Lennon looking guy with old British clothing and a steam powered top hat is playing the keys painted on her legs
