How long do you leave in casting slip in a mold for a doll head?
When you pour slip into the mold, wait until the level of the slip goes down half an inch or so and that should be a thick enough casting. There is no set time, because as a mold is used, it gets damper and absorbs water slowly. When you empty the excess slip, you leave a shell of clay behind and that should be about one sixteenth to one quarter inch thick. Any thicker and the piece will crack.
What does clay slip do?
Slip is simply clay mixed with enough water to make it a thick liquid. Usually potters use colored slip to decorate and/or texture pieces. Slip is also used as a glue to attach handles or mend broken pieces before they are fired. Slip can also be used to mold clay. Plaster molds are used which are assembled and clamped together and then the slip is poured in. As the water is absorbed into the plaster, a shell of clay is deposited on the inside of the mold. When the shell is thick enough, the remaining slip is poured out and the casting allowed to dry to a leatherhard stage. At this stage, the mold is taken apart and the casting is trimmed and finished.

In the Potteries, the area around Stoke on Trent, England, though this may be an earlier word taken over from metalworkers. When one makes an article by the process of casting - whether in bronze, silver, gold, iron or clay slip - there has to be a short tunnel from the mould to the outside, through which to pour in the metal or slip. When the finished article is removed from the mould, there is attached to it a short strip which is a casting of the tunnel. This bit, which is useless, to be broken off and thrown away, is the GIT. Hence the expression, 'you useless git'.
