terrim8 Posted August 25, 2019 Report Share Posted August 25, 2019 Hi all! I am slip casting a large one piece item. It is drying pretty slowly. Is it best to dry it upside down on some sticks to prop it up for air circulation or just leave it right side up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilestrick Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 Upside down is always a good idea. It'll help the bottom to dry faster, more in sync with the top. No sticks, though. Just on the shelf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Kielb Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 I have had really good luck with setting things right-side up on a cheap old cfold paper towel and covering lightly if necessary. The towel wicks the water away and the bottom seems to dry at the same speed of the entire vessel while letting the ware slide a bit as it shrinks. It has worked for me and is simple while allowing the whole vessel to dry exposed to the air. I can throw something on the wheel and remove it to its permanent spot on top of the cfold towel until I am ready to trim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrim8 Posted September 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 Thanks for the ideas! I'm trying it again with a new big mold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
