I flush the edges around the mating surfaces, that automatically lines up the inner sections (so mold natches are not required here). This clay body, an M370C test, I made it by substituting OptiKast kaolin and KT#1-4 ball clay, materials intended for use in casting slips. This adjustment means that the slip only needs to stay in the mold for about 10-15 minutes to get a good thickness (vs 30 minutes for standard M370C). Within ten minutes after pour out the mold splits and the bottle releases.
