'''Pearlash''' is a [[wood industry|wood-based]] product which is used primarily in the manufacture of [[clear glass|clear]] and [[crystal glass]].
 
 
 
==Producing pearlash==
 
Pearlash can be created at a [[kiln]] or [[magma kiln]] by a dwarf with the [[furnace operator]] labor enabled. Doing so requires one unit of [[potash]], as well as whatever [[fuel]] is necessary to run the kiln. Pearlash is actually one of the most labor intensive products in the game to produce, requiring you to burn one unit of [[wood]] to [[ash]] at a [[wood furnace]], then convert the ash to potash at an [[ashery]] just to acquire the input material used in its creation.
 
 
 
Pearlash is produced in [[bar]]s with no quality level. These bars can be stored in bar [[stockpile]]s, and are viewable in the stocks screen under "bars."
 
 
 
==Uses==
 
Pearlash's primary use is to allow the production of [[clear glass]] (also requires [[sand]]) and [[crystal glass]] (also requires [[rock crystal]]) at a [[glass furnace]] or [[magma glass furnace]].
 
 
 
Alternatively, pearlash is a [[magma-safe]] (though eccentric) building material, and can be used in any [[construction]]s.
 
 
 
==Real world==
 
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pearlash Pearlash] (or salt of tartar) is a more refined form of potash. Historically, this fine white powder was produced by burning away potash's impurities in a kiln. It was used in glassmaking, china, and soap production, and has many widespread uses today.
