Rob,
I dunno, having two kids hasn't changed me one bit. I'm just as stubborn as always. I am, however, always on the lookout for bigger truths. If I see evidence of a better way I would change what I do in a heartbeat. My allegiance is to the quality of the work I do, not to any doctrine or theology. I'm glad you've tried the cadmium alternative and it works for you.
Mike,
Flake white #2 is softer than #1 so it depends on the results you desire. If chunky paint is your goal go with #1 or if you desire more relative fluidity (or a better spread for your crackers Rob) #2 is the Flake for you. I prefer #2.
Michael Harding began making #2 after Winsor and Newton stopped. Both still make #1.
Again, Flake is comprised of lead which is toxic if ingested or if dust is inhaled. Wash hands before eating and don't sand it down without a wearing a mask. It cannot be absorbed through unbroken skin nor does it give off toxic fumes.
