Great video, love how your glasses click together in the middle. Some of my clay bodies if I rub them with a wet sponge it brings out the grog when they are dry.
Stoneware you have to just a stick to push the clay down. Like you say with a sponge, the grog come out. It takes out the fine particles and reveals the grog.
Patsi Minnes from British Columbia sent them to me in a merciful attempt to get me out of my AARP downward spiral. The one where you have food bits on your glasses that hang around your neck with a moldy old cord.
My question is what about the content of the video? ....Guess I should just try dressing better ?
Two questions. How dry can your porcelain be, before this method no longer fixes the cracks? Also, what's your favorite method of making deflocculated slip.
I make the deflocculated slip by taking throwing slip and then adding dry trimming scraps until thick. Then a couple of drops of Darvan 811. That thins it, then more dry trimming scraps. Then a bit more 811. Then dry trimming scraps. Then it is done.
My dentist gave me a curved syringe & I use that to force slip into hard to reach areas.

Bill, they can be bone dry. (and those were.)
