Flumo Casting Slip® You've been hearing about this terrific new product - now try it out for yourself! Flumo air dries to a great hardness - no firing necessary! Ever wish you could make some of the dolls you've seen in the magazines but you don't have a kiln? Now you can make any doll you want using this wonderful product. The finish is incredible! Just pour into a mold - let dry and wha-la! Here's how you use it.... 1. Preparation Before using stir well with a stick until smooth. This may take some time - and you can use any electric paint mixer - as long as you let the slip set at least 2 hours to make sure no air bubbles are left in the slip. The process is the same as if you are pouring porcelain slip.. If necessary add distilled water to thin.     2. Pouring Use only plaster molds. Be sure the mold is dust free and dry.       Pour without stopping on the side of the opening of the mold, just as if you were pouring porcelain or composition.     Wait 15 minutes before emptying. 3. Emptying Empty casting slip, letting it drip completely.       Empty poured slip into a different container than the original so as not to contaminate the original casting slip.     Keep containers tightly covered for future use.   4. Unmolding Wait one hour before opening mold.     Keep the piece open on one side of the mold for an additional hour. 7. Painting Once hardened Flumo can be painted with any kind of paint. (Just the regular old acrylic craft paint you get at any hoby store in a flesh tone works really well. So does the Composition Body Stain.) Flumo can even be varnished. See Painting Composition Tips for some tips that you can use on Flumo too. P.S. Don't seal the Flumo with Gesso before painting it - the Gesso separates from the Flumo (as we've found out while experimenting...) and the paint comes off. You can rub the finished piece with a soft wax to give it a "glow".   See the Help Me pages for more tips on Flumo
