The propertys of the two clays are entirely different.......One will
do the job (supposedly) and the other is used by those that don't know

bentonite all one and the same, which it is not. i'm not gonna get
into a blow by blow difference in clays, as there is a heap of info on
the various bentonite clays, with a google search....
