Thanks Goldfinch4,
I had read about doing the soak and I do appreciate you confirming it for me. Had never made Papercrete pots until this year, but I cannot imagine why the leaching process would not be the same.
Years ago when I made hypertufa's with a Club I belonged to, we used a product called Sodium Permanganate to soak them in breafly, but do not have and could not remember quantaties or where to get.
I probably will seal it after I leach it for a bit, as I am going to use this one inside.
I appreciate your help.
Rick
