merkin Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 What do you add to slip to keep it from spoiling? I added some white vinegar but my slip is turning black and stinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benzine Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 I've seen people post that they use a bit of bleach, or peroxide. I've never tried either as my slip only smells a bit at most. In my classroom, the slip is in an open bucket, but is used quickly enough, that it does't get too rank. In my home studio, I have it in a lidded bucket. I did add peroxide to my mending slip, because it contains corn syrup. The peroxide seems to help with bacteria, but not mold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Coyle Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 I have had luck with adding a few ounces of denatured alcohol to my slips and glazes. It also helps dissolve some of the more difficult components in the mix. If I am using titanium dioxide in something, I dissolve it in the alcohol, mix it well , and then throw it into the already mixed batch and re mix it. You need to keep it in closed containers closed or the alcohol evaporates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
