Hey there,
I have been mixing porcelaine casting slip for the last year. All of a su=
dden when mixing a new batch the consistency was a rubbery texture, compl=
etely unusable. A thick layer of rubbery mass was near glued to the botto=
m of the bucket. The rest was a consistency of water. Even happened on a =
second test batch.
If this sounds familiar, please respond.
