magnesium hydroxide

I hear it helps release clay from molds. anyone know where to get it
besides places like online science supplies. They charge $20 US for 500
grams.

Would it be a bad thing to put a little milk of magnesia in my slip.
Maybe the aluminum hydroxide would mess it up?

Maybe one of them can help you.
