Still working on my production run of Jungle Explorer Sinking in Quicksand mugs for a customer in Finland. I have sent 12 so far, he is happy with them and I am working on another dozen. I had left all of them in the mold for 90 minutes before pouring the excess slip out. The first ones had a nice wall thickness but some of the subsequent ones were not as thick as I wanted. I tried to compensate by leaving the slip in for 120 minutes and this is what happened-

The mug walls are so thick that there isn't room for the drink :lol:
Now I'm drying my mold a little better between mugs and it is working out well at 90 minutes :D
