Peggy Heer's Spooze For Mug Handles
I was going to switch from my slip and vinegar mix to spooze for scoring and joining mug handles. Anyone use it specifically for handles and have you had any issues?
my current joining slip is clay, water and vinegar blended and haven't really had many problems but do occasionally misjudge the dryness of either the handle or mug and had a few crack off here and there. Since making new batch thought I would try this.
Magic water recipe is
1 Gallon Water
3 Tablespoons of Liquid Sodium Silicate
1 1/2 Teaspoons of Soda Ash
You can use it just like this or take dry scraps of clay and use the magic water in place of ordinary water to make joining slip with.
(you can also add a titch of paper pulp to the magic water slip for troublesome clay joins).
