White-Cast Dry Slip (Six Bag Blend) CS130

White-Cast Dry Slip (Premixed) CB130

White-Cast Liquid Slip (CL130: gallon jugs)

Georgies' White Cast Slip has proven itself over time because of its white fired body, ease of deflocculation and economical price. Your molds will produce good detail with a moderate setting time with White Cast. (In UPS-shippable plastic jugs of one gallon each, or cases of 4 gallons.)

Natural White Dry Stoneware Slip (SSD600)

Natural White Stoneware Liquid Slip (SS600: gallon jugs)

A fantastic aid to potters when you have add-ons or parts to assemble for your work! This stoneware slip uses the same clay formula as our popular G-Mix 6 clay, so it's ready to help you with attachments, slip trailing, colored slip work, or... let your imagination roam. Also ready to stir and use for traditional casting uses, like making your own dinnerware.(In UPS-shippable plastic jugs of one gallon each, or cases of 4 gallons.)

Silver Falls Porcelain Liquid Slip (CL519: gallon jugs)

We now make our own porcelain slip, based on the clay formula in our Silver Falls cone 6 porcelain body. Just like our Natural White Stoneware, this slip can be a fantastic aid for you in attaching fussy porcelain add-on parts. You can also color it with Mason Stains or Seeleys porcelain tints for ornaments, doll parts, or.... set your creativity free to roam. (In UPS-shippable plastic jugs of one gallon each, or cases of 4 gallons.)

Slip Additives

These components are the thinning agents that hold the clay particles in liquid suspension. When mixing your slip, over-thinning (aka overdeflocculation) is a major concern. If you use too much of these ingredients, your greenware may be grainy, fragile, and difficult to handle or work with. Over-thinning errors often can't be corrected -- meaning your entire batch of slip, and the money you spent on the raw materials, all goes to waste.
Use SODIUM SILICATE sparingly: do not add it all at once! Add it only as needed for your slip to perform according to the tests below, in our Slip Usage Guide. If you reach the maximum amount of sodium silicate for your batch size and the slip still does not flow at the desired rate, you can add DARVAN at up to 1 liquid ounce per 100 dry pounds of slip mix. Remember: you can always add more, but you can't take it back out!
