I have been having such great experiences with paperclay slip that I
thought I'd thank those of you on the list who inspired me to try it.
I've had the slip save my work a couple times recently. While loading
greenware into the kiln, I knocked off the delicate hand built knob from
a lid. The lid was not broken, but the handbuilt decorative top sure
was. I moistened the attachment point on the lid and made some score
marks, fashioned a new knob from wet stoneware, and attached the wet
clay to the bone dry clay with paperclay slip. I put it in the kiln
immediately, and fired it very slowly. It came out fine.
I've had similar experiences with attachments I've knocked off porcelain
pieces...attaching wet clay to dry using paperclay slip as the bond. I
use it for all my attachments now, and handles, feet, etc. stay attached
thoughout the drying process (even my troublesome porcelain).
Yesterday I knocked the delicate rim of a stoneware pot and took a chip
right out of it. I built up a layer of the paperclay slip above the
original rim line, bisque fired it and sanded smooth after firing. This
is great!
I used toilet paper in the blender with water to get the "paper linter"
and used 1/3 of the drained mash to 2/3 clay body. I keep the slip in a
covered plastic container, and for 3 months now, no mould.
Thanks again to those of you who inspired me to try this stuff.

Candice,
Is the greenware also made from paperclay - or a normal claybody? I have
a very nice slab piece at the greenware stage that has some minor damage
that I would love to salvage if possible. Any further pointers that folks
have would be appreciated.

Parri,
The greenware was regular cone 10 stoneware that I use for pit firing.
The paper slip was porcelain claybody. Because it is a white stoneware,
the patch job was indecernable. I have since done a blackware firing on
the piece, and you still cannot tell it ever had a piece chipped off the
rim.
I've only bothered to make paperclay slip out of the porcelain, and
continue to use it for attachments on "B-mix", porcelain and stoneware.
For bigger patch jobs, paperclay might work better, but my slip is quite
thick, and built up, it works just fine.

My experience (or should I say my unfortunate experience) is that it IS
necessary to make paper clay slip from EACH claybody in use. Apparently
the shrinkage rates were different between the paper clay slip I'd made
and the clay I used, and I ended up with cracks. I've decided that it's
not that hard to make paperclay slip in my food processor (using toilet
paper) and a little goes a long way.
