Does CS30 come premixed and ready to pour into plaster molds or is it a powder that will require water and deflocculants?

Scarva Replies:

This is ready mixed, simply shake well, open and pour.

Can you single fire CS30 to mature temp 1240degC in a single firing? What would the schedule need to be in degC/time please? Thanks.

Scarva Replies:

Yes this is possible I would fire 60oC per hour to 300oC, then 100oC to 1235oC with a 30 minute soak, end.

Hello,
I would like to see If this slip can be use also as decorating slip?
Thank you

Hi,
I would suggest using the Scarva Nano Porcelain Decorating Slips, casting slip will not really work in this way.
Hope this helps

Hello, I'm searching for pure porcelain, without black spots after firing, caused by iron particles. Is your porcelain slip iron free?
|
Scarva Replies:

Hi, while the manufacturing process can't guarantee there will be no defects in the casting slip in the thousands of tests we have done here we have never seen black spots appear in this casting slip. Hope this helps!

Hello,
Can I add water to dilute the slip if it has thickened over time?
|
Scarva Replies:
|
Yes you can dilute with a little water or a small drop of dispex or sodium silicate will improve the consistency as well.

It was perfect after bisque firing (1000oC) but after firing to 1240 oC there were bubbles on the surface though the firing process was gradual and slow. Could you recommend a schedule for the second firing please?
|
Scarva Replies:
|
Sounds like it may have been fired to high I would keep the ramps the same and lower the end temperature by 20 degrees and your fired result should improve. Hope this helps.
