    GC Porcelain

    Anyone know who or if GC porcelain is sold in Australia? I know Alphabond sell the GC luster paste, but they only sell Noratake porcelain. I would love to try it, especially for zi and Ti frameworks after reading some posts on here. E-max is great on press, but not so good on zr frames.
