Mudslinger Ceramics Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Hi all Have just flipped through the last 20 forum pages (eyes hurt!) looking for a PDF paper some very clever soul once posted last year on making your own ceramic tape sheets of porcelain, a 'homemade' version of Keraflex sheets......of course cannot find it! Have used the Search option with several combinations of words but still no luck! The primary binder was PVA glue that gave the thin translucent porcelain its plastic flexibility but with a bit of water would soften the glue base allowing complex shapes to be formed from the sheets. Much, much cheaper than buying Keraflex no matter how wonderful it is. There was a very specific way of making the slip formula and handling the sheets in drying so am looking for that PDF.....does anyone remember the post?....have the PDF on file?...have another recipie I could use? Help ........! Irene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bciskepottery Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 The pdf was originally posted by Norm Stuart, along with a handful of other handouts from Alfred University. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilestrick Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 I would check into the toxicity of burning PVA glue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnolia Mud Research Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 I agree with Neil. PVA is chemical shorthand for Poly(vinyl acetate), a.k.a. just school room glue (Elmer's Glue). LT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
