CASTING SLIP

Used for slip casting into plaster molds.  1 gallon and 5 gallon containers have premixed slip, ready for you to use (although minor adjustments may be necessary).  50# bags of dry slip requires mixing with water and deflocculants such as soda ash, sodium silicate or dispersal/Darvan to get proper results.  Mixing formulas vary.  See Laguna's web site for mixing information.

As a general guideline, 50 lbs of dry slip mixes with about 3 gallons of water to make about 5 gallons of slip.  However, slip needs to be mixed to achieve the desired viscosity and the specific gravity.  Here is some slip-making instructions from Laguna.  For additional mixing chemicals you might need, you can check our chemicals page.
