Absolutely. And if you let it settle, most of what you pour out will be=20
water. The slip can go in with your other scraps.

Exactly. Many of us have been accustomed to working some place where water
management isn't an issue but it isn't that hard. If I did have my own
full-blown studio there might be things I would gladly spend money on before
industrial-strength plumbing now that I've seen how conservative I really can be on
water usage.

Chemically contaminated water would be a different matter.
