Q: My ceramics teacher taught us how to make slip by using dry clay + water, but atm i don‘t have dry clay . so i was wondering if anyone knows how to make slip another way? or an easy way to dry out clay quickly :) I don‘t know what kind of clay i‘m using (I‘m a newbie) but it seems standard clay

As I learned, the key to making clay slip that works is just enough water to allow stirring it then add small amount of deflocculant like water glass (sodium silicate) or even salt, which makes the clay flow like it had a lot more water in it but the plaster does not have to put all that water out. You can start with wet clay as well as the dry powder or you can even use the sludge in your clean scrap bucket - just pour off the extra water before digging the heavier stuff out.

Q: what works best to clean ceramic floor tile?

Cleaning Ceramic Tiles When floor cleaning ceramic tile floors, use a simple solution of soap and water. The trick is to use a rubber scraper - the kind they use at gas stations to clean the windows on your car.

Q: Hi all . any one here tried ceramic braces??? I heard that they stain and easy to break . is it true I would like to hear answers from someone who had ceramic braces on or he/she knew someone had these braces oh another thing when it comes to kissing are they the same as metal braces ? thank you

i haven't had ceramic braces before but,i've had medal. medal braces and ceramic braces can both break. and yes, ceramic braces can stain easily. for example if you drink punch or something like that then yeah it can stain. but if it did stain the color would be light and nobody would notice!! :D when it comes to kissing that it's hard to kiss because it rubs against your mouth. because the next day i had a few blisters lol. don't worry if your getting braces there not that bad. ;)

Q: since we are running out fast of natural resources such as iron could ceramics be used as a potential replacement since we have an almost unlimited supply and with advancing materials technology we could potentially use them for everything from cars to buildings or could we thats what and i wana know

No, ceramics are brittle. So if you made, for example, an automobile out of ceramics then it would just shatter, the same as a ceramic dinner plate if you roll it down a steep hill. Brick buildings are already made from brick, which is pretty much a ceramic. Ceramics are made from metal oxides in any case, so they do not conserve metals, they just use up different metals. Advancing materials technology has given us a machinable ceramic called Mycor, but it is still brittle.

Q: can you seal ceramic backsplash tile?

I think the school assumes the parents have instilled in their children the value and necessity of the schoolwork they do each day. When they miss it, they go back to a class that has been taking in and building on knowledge for a couple days or more. Naturally, the kids are focused on the short range view: days off of school, which feels good. However, the long range view is that they miss their knowledge, and have some loss.

Q: which are healthier for your hair and why?

In my opinion, ceramics are better. The ceramic plates should generate infra red heat and negative ions, which prevents your hair from some heat damage. We all know heat is one of the main concerns about using straighteners or any heat produced products. Use the link I provided to further help you choose! Hope I helped -Lindyy.

Q: I have a statue of a black panther that is made out of porcelain or ceramic. The ear has a chip on it and I wanted to know if there was a way to repair it if I was missing the pieces. Thank you!

it has to be fixed by an sculptor 1- first he would use clay to make the chip 2-he carefully will get it out then will make a stamp 3-will use a mold to make a new chip 4- then to fasten the chip to the statue for sure he will use many kinds of materials so you can not do it yourself the final material is Epoxy glue for ceramic and black ceramic color

Q: Where do you usually have it? Farmland or on the mountain, generally in dry land or wetland, what are the characteristics of the soil surface? How deep can we dig it out? Please help professionals answer, urgent! Thank you!

C'mon。。。 Don't understand don't answer? A little more sand? Have you ever made pottery? Are you a major in ceramics? A little more of the sand, the clay? Be rather baffling！！ I haven't seen anything so good in ceramic design for so long. There's sand in the mud. Is there any sand that can make good stuff? Did you sell it? You give me a look!And kaolin is a good kind of porcelain mud, near Jiangxi, Wuyuan, but a few years ago it has been dug almost, and now very little useful kaolin made of ceramics ~!The clay material is mainly based on the concept of clay as the main ceramic. The tradition refers to all kinds of products made of clay as the main raw material and other natural mineral fuels through crushing, mixing, forming, calcining and other processes.What clay is the color of the soil?... Ordinary porcelain mud is yellow, high white mud, dark gray (close to black)Porcelain mud can not be dug directly, it is to be processed to join the compound ~!I'd like to buy some books on ceramic art materialsI hope this answer can help you ~!
