oldlady Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 i have this recipe. it is from Pat Horsley via Jan Richardson of Windy Meadows pottery. the gum arabic is in a dry form. i got some from Georgies, i think. nobody else seemed to have it dry. recipe is specific to EACH clay body you use. (big lou, i can picture 25 containers, one for each body you have developed) SCORE NO MORE 100 grams dry clay 2 grams dry gum arabic 2 grams custer feldspar 2 grams dry bentonite mix dry without causing a plume of dust then add HOT water, mix and let it sit (overnight) next day add 1/4 teaspoon sodium silicate and a pinch of epsom salts. store it in an airtight container. if mold grows add a few drops of bleach. it works. i am using some i made over a year ago. a little black mold formed and i got rid of it with bleach. it is great for adding parts to things and also for filling in dents or dings. Jan says she can fix things that have been bisqued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callie Beller Diesel Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 Just because it turned up in another thread, you can add paper pulp to your attaching slip, and you don't have to score. This does have a stink factor if left for too long. I imagine bleach might cure that, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fielding Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 mix vinegar into the slip, as it will work to keep particles suspended Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
