Sorry about this Clayarters!
In my rationalization of deleting 'Clayart Posts', WRONGLY as it turns
out now, I had thought that I didn't need to keep any posts re: Thick Slip.
With not being able to access Clayart archives and not being able to get
into the Web from home, I am hoping that some of you may have stored the
info. on 'Thick Slips' and would be able to pass on the relevant
information, for specific a purpose.
What I am wanting to do is - to apply a thick slip coating to greenware,
for this coating to be applied with a 'Hakame' brush, swirling the slip
up the pot in a spiralling movement, the coating being uneven ranging
from thick to washy. I do not wish to have the thicker parts cracking or
seperating from the body.
The clays that I am intending to use are fine stoneware, often referred
to by the manufacturers as Porcelaineous.
Any pointers on what to watch out for, what to include in recipes,
preparation of, or actual recipes for this type of clay fired to 1300,
will be greatly appreciated.

I suggest using a defloculated slip, i.e., let slip sit over night,
decant extra water, blunge and sieve, let sit overnight and decant any
extra water. Also, your slip should have the same shrinkage coefficient
as the clay body--you may want to make it from the same clay as the pot
you are working on. NL
