MOLDS AND POURING

When pouring small molds you may experience difficulty sometimes in getting the slip to drain from small pour holes. Try using an atomiser with a piece of flexible tubing attached,. Insert the tube in to the pour hole and turn mold over and pump air in to the mold. The slip will then run freely. OR you could also insert a straw and blow gently in to it to drain the mold. The straw acts as a vent allowing air in to displace the slip.

One method of avoiding hard spots when pouring is to insert a tongue depressor or flat object in the mold and pour slip against it
