In general, cover‐coat slips for sheet iron are milled to give a residue of from 4 to 9% on a 200‐mesh sieve. The opinion was formed that finer milling results in tearing because of results secured on the box‐type rather than the continuous furnace. However, cover‐coat slips milled from 12 to 0.2% on a 325‐mesh sieve are now in use in production on continuous furnaces with no increase in tearing over coarse grinding and with the following advantages: (1) higher opacity, (2) less wear on spray guns, (3) smoother finishes, (4) preferred by sprayers, (5) better suspension, and (6) lower firing temperatures.
