| As a general guideline, 50 lbs of dry slip
mixes with about 3 gallons of water to make about 5 gallons of slip.
However, slip needs to be mixed to achieve the desired viscosity and the
specific gravity. Here is some slip-making
instructions from Laguna. For additional mixing chemicals you
might need, you can check our chemicals
page. |
