I've read that you can improve the flow of slip by the addition of CMC. Does
anyone know what percentage to add ?

Carol,
I use l2.5grams of CMC to one pint of water. I have a plastic bottle,
add the CMC, and then pour (two measuring cups full) of hot water into the
bottle. Let it sit a while until the CMC is dissolved. This will keep for
a long time, depending of course on how much of it you use .. I add one
tablespoon of this mixture to l00 grams of mixed glaze, or slip glaze. .
I always add CMC to a slip glaze for better adherence to the pot. For other
glazes I prefer l% of macaloid mixed with the dry glaze before adding the
water ..Hope this helps. Mia, in partly cloudy ABQ

I am a fan of cmc and it works well for me without measuring. Am I gonna
catch some flack for that? (grin) I mix it in a baby food
jar,shake,shake,shake and then let it sit for a couple of days-until it is
of even consistency. Then I use it as I need it. A little goes a long way--
but I am talking small batches here--like spaghetti sauce jars-- @ a
teaspoon. BTWWhen I make my slips I make up a larger batch which I will take
some from to add colors to as I want them--strain them really well and also
let them age a while. The longer they age ( in plastic containers
w/lids ),the creamier and easier they flow. This is NOT scientific ,but it
has worked for me so far! If anyone knows for sure that the non-measured
addition of CMC will adversly effect my glazes and slips , I'd love to
know-- amazed at how much mixing glazes and the like has become a kitchen
science for me! pamalab
