White Star Casting Slip comes mixed and deflocculated, so nothing needs to be added before pouring, although it would be best to mix before using. A deflocculated slip pours freely while still being mostly clay by weight, and with less water in the mix there is less shrinkage on the way to dry. The firing range is cone 06 to 04, and the fired colour is white in oxidation. The fired body stays open and porous, so cast work is glazed for use. Left standing for a long time, the particles settle into a firm layer at the bottom of the container, so it is stirred well before use.
