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. One-gallon jugs of slip can be shipped in singles by UPS, or in cases of 4. Each gallon weighs about 15 pounds. Boxes of 2-1/2 gallons can be shipped on pallets by freight, but cannot be shipped UPS. Each box weighs about 35 pounds.

White-Cast Dry Slip (Six Bag Blend) CS130

This is the typical recipe for slip mixing. Recipes differ between manufacturers only in which talc, ball clay or flux they use. Georgies sells one reliable formula, but we can make or supply others. Six-Bag Blend is a 2100-pound ton that supplies 7 batches. Please call for price quotes on orders of five tons or more.

This dry mix does not include Sodium Silicate, Soda Ash or Barium Carbonate,
which are crucial to making the slip work.

White-Cast Dry Slip (Premixed) CB130

This dry blend is exactly like the Six-Bag Blend. It has all the same components, but we have run them thru a ribbon blender to mix them together, like a cake mix, and bagged the results in 50-pound units. One ton is 40 bags.

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 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!
