preventing leaks in molds

I have a very simple solution for this ever-present problem: my slip lives
in a big slip dispenser which is a utility sink with bars across to drain
the molds. I put any mold that tends to leak on the rack and load it up
with slip right there so slip will leak right back into the reservoir. A
handy wad of clay to staunch any leaks and you're all set. One warning: I
had a big leak in the corner where three pieces meet and it was positioned
so the leak spewed onto the floor..........
