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

Réponses de Scarva:

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

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?
|
Réponses de Scarva:
|
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!
