How do I make a slip thinner?

Thinning

To make a slip thinner or more liquid I have used Calgon as a deflocculant. The deflocculant helps make the slip more fluid and easier to brush or dip. The percentage of Calgon I use is 0.5% - 2% in dry mix, but if you have a slip that is really thick I would let the slip sit in water over night to help thin it for use.
