Hey out there,

Does anyone explore and possibly have a recipe they can share for a cone 10
porcelain casting slip. I can't seem to find anything on the subject.

Thanks,

scottologist

You posted this before and I am sorry that you did not get response. I =
do
not work with casting slips, but my suggestion to you would be to use a
plastic porcelain body recipe that you like and add the sodium silicate =
to
the water that you will add to the powder clay to bring it to a slip. (I =
am
sure there are recipes for other casting slips around) What I know is =
that
you have to use less water and allow the sodium silicate to "liquefy" =
the
clay. If you do not use less water you will deal with too much shrinkage =
and
possibly cracks also. Sorry I can not help you any further with a =
recipe,
but I hope this is a starting point for you.=20
