Re: Slip Mixing Tank
Hi, Josh and Andy-
I attended Ontario College of Art 1978-1981, and the moldmaking instructor Angelo DiPetta used an old ringer-washer for slip. It worked beautifully. We'd turn
the agitator on for maybe 10 minutes before slip-casting class, and the lid prevented any splashing. I believe he actually mixed the claybody components in
there. I don't remember if he used the hose/pump, but I think that he probably didn't because too much slip would have been delivered (and too fast) for our
purposes. Back then these machines were cheap (I found one on the street)!
