Walker Ceramics has a range of powders suitable for
producing casting slips.
They are available in 25 kg bags.
Preparation of casting slip from powder involves only the addition of measured amounts of
water and deflocculents in a suitable mixer.
******Always
check this website for the most up to date recipe for the body you use. If you
are uncertain of the recipe please contact us and we will advise you of the best
recipe for your mix *******
Our recipes are issued as a guide only, as water and local casting conditions
may vary around Australia. Follow the recipe mixing instructions to attain the
best possible casting slip from your mixer. Slip should be run through an 80
mesh sieve prior to use to ensure the highest quality results.
Check the litre weight using Walker
Ceramics Litre Weight Bottle and
Chart for accuracy (Product Code HC80).
Always use our slip mixing records and charts for permanent historical records
of slip recipes and solutions to mixing
problems.
We strongly recommend that casting slips should be tested for suitability
prior to any bulk use. Slips may be coloured with the addition of stains suitable for
clay bodies.
