Slips - Liquid & Dry

 

More Clays: LowfireMidrangeDrySlip

Georgies offers a full line of liquid slip clays to suit the needs of dollmakers, hobby casters, and production studios. We also carry a full selection of slip additives, those crucial chemical mix-ins that make the slip work. You'll find those on this page, too, plus a one-page guide on how to mix and use casting slip in molds.

 

Lowfire Liquid Slip

Georgies Blanco Cast ^04 Slip (CL130CT)

CL130CT

This is our go-to slip body - it is similar to the original white cast but uses a different clay body. This new slip body casts faster - so watch your timing! It fits the standard clear glazes clear IN1001, & S2101, but our favorite clear to use is Duncan's Pure Brilliance. Left side bisque only, right with clear glaze.

CL130CTG One-Gallon jugs (or in cases of 4) of slip CAN be shipped by UPS ... each gallon weighs about 15 pounds.
CL130CT Boxes of 2½ gallons CAN'T be shipped UPS ... each box weighs about 35 pounds. We can ship on a pallet via freight, however, if you need a large quantity.

Georgies Pearl White ^04 Slip (CL130CW)

CL130CW

This slip is a more plastic body that requires more technique in casting. It moves with agitation, but will gel up with sitting time. It casts more quickly and releases cleanly. It fits the standard clear glazes IN1001, & S2101, but our favorite clear to use is Duncan's Pure Brilliance. Left side bisque only, right side has clear glaze applied.

Georgies Terra Sigillata

Terra Sigillata, being the most ancient means of bringing color, enhancing and sealing a clay surface, is a remarkable technique. It is made with very fine grained clays, lots of water, and a small amount of deflocculant to disperse the fine particles. The slurry must settle for 12-24 hours and the super fine particles are then siphoned off. This is a low-production item. Please contact us for stock on hand.

Slip Additives

These components are the thinning and suspension agents that hold the clay particles in the liquid base, so they don't all sink to the bottom. 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. 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 7 at 35 grams (1.24 liquid ounces) per 100 dry pounds or 105 grams (3.7 liquid ounces) per 300 pounds of slip mix.
Remember: you can always add more, but you can't take it back out!

CH304
Barium Carbonate
Toxic in its powder form. You don't have to use it in mixing your own slip, but it may be useful because it neutralizes sulfates that may be present in the clay or leached from molds.
