Thank you for this clear, concise and detailed demonstration! 💜

Would love to know what type of air compressor you use!

Finally a detailed video on how to reclaim my casting slip trimmings !! It's been kicking my butt for a few months now. This helps me out drastically ! Thank you so much..... Any leads of where to pick up a large throat plastic testing jar ?

Thank you for recording and sharing the 2-part video on underglazes. I’ve been into the use of underglazes but still found them useful.

Can't you use bakers percentage for the perfect slip recipe?

Extremely well done! I deeply admire your accurate information and concise explanation. The sped up video is also appreciated.

Great videos! Do you know if it's possible to use this method to make a mold using a 3d printed object? Or is it better to use silicone molds for this? Thanks!

This is the best video thank you so much for making it and for explaining so much detail - I used plasticine and will switch to greenware for my initial design. I’m so so glad you made this video as I’ve been learning from mistakes and that takes ages! Having everything explained from word go saves soooo much time!

Thank you for your videos, easily the best tutorials on this subject on here

How to design the template?

Thank you

Can you make a mold using a bisque piece?

Wonderfully spoken. I sure hope such fluently spoken instructions does not come this naturally to you.. hahaha

Thank -u! Where is the book recommendation?

I levigate clay from my property. I tried making slip from it and it works great! I can make cups as thin as 1/8". Michael

thanks 🌷🌷💗

Thank you for sharing 🤘😝🤘

I thought the binding of the microscopic plates is what makes fired clay strong. If the plates are all jumbled up does it weaken the fired clay? Michael

I wonder if we can make plates with this technique. Plaster suck the water out of the liquid clay. Interesting.

Line your cottle boards with a plastic bag, faster water tight seal

Oil soap also permeates the plaster like Vaseline aka (thick oil)

Excellent and well articulated, with proper terms and concepts. But that non-Newtonian usage is familiar to me from the hydrocarbon polymers (plastic), which has that kind of flow in the molten state. Sister!

These are each so short, why not splice them all together into a single video?

Maybe someday you could make this a "talkie", instad of a silent.

This video would be a lot better with some naration to explain what's going on.

Thank yo SO much for making this! This is a wonderful tutorial refresher!

Thank you so much for all details of the process! I've learnt a lot from you. Really appreciated!

Thank you so clear and useful!

Awsome video! Im planning to make a mold for some dice (6,8,10,12 and 20 sided), and wanted to ask from your experience Would it be possible to make it with dice that is not clay you think? What is the clay you use to make the mold? Would any type do or should i aim for a specific one? Thank you!

You can't time a cast . It depends on the weather, the dampness of the moulds and the viscosity of the slip. Also remove the scrap before you open the mould. One more thing PUT some overalls on.

You are literally the best! Ha I wish you were my teacher! ❤️

You really should not be breathing all this in. Respirator use is warranted.

Thanks

Worried about brush strokes. Your spraying looks good.

Belo trabalho! Amei ❤❤❤

I have my viscosity perfect but after 5 minutes it’s hard again so if I’m correct I need to keep adding deflocculant until it stays runny for 30/60 minutes?

Wonderful commentary. Great job. Thank you.

Water soluble does not mean it will evaporate with the water! Probably deposits out the the clay.

It is not magnetic! It probably is ionic! Try seeing if a magnetic will pick up any to show if will pick up any which it will probably not!

Best video ever! you addressed a really important question I had which was if I could fire my stoneware CLAY at a low temperature, Thank you so much!

A vibrating platform is necessary to measure specific gravity in a thixotropic fluid. Liquefaction is necessary to allow buoyancy over drag.

Epsom salt to thicken. Sodium silicate to thin.

When you slip cast for this type of mold do you drain out the excess slip or continue filling it to have a solid product?

does the cone matter for underglaze?

Great information. Having said that, you mention a few times that sodium silicate evaporated with your water. I do not believe that is the case (or even possible), as sodium silicate has a MELTING point of around 1410 °C and a boiling point of 2355 °C. If you dissolve sodium silicate in water and let the water evaporate, the sodium silicate will stay behind.

beautiful❤

Thank you for your excellent instruction!

Do you have to put this in a kiln following?

❤

I just started doing this, got a bunch of molds for free... Wasn't sure what to get so I picked up some of that "Perfect Cast" Poured it in a small x-mas Santa ornament, left it in for 40 mins (cuz that's what the instructions on the bag said) and it got stuck in the mold... I was finally able to get it out but it stuck to a couple small details of Santa's beard and broke them off :-( Was it the stuff I used? Or did I do something wrong?
