Recognizing Under Deflocculation
If the slip is gelling after a few minutes or livering while mixing, more deflocculant is probably needed. Be careful not to add too much; this is a common mistake and will mean you will have to make more of the powder mix and add it and more water to counterbalance the oversupply of deflocculant. If the slip does not settle out overnight, then you can rest easy, it is not over deflocculated.
If the slip has not thinned after an addition, then there is already enough present. Sometimes a very small addition of water will thin the slip dramatically.
