Geoff:
Just to clarify things, Slughorn does use the word "encase"....

"Well," said Slughorn uncomfortably, "you must understand that the soul is supposed to 
remain intact and whole. Splitting it is an act of violation, it is against nature."
"But how do you do it?"
"By an act of evil - the supreme act of evil. By committing murder. Killing rips the soul apart. 
The wizard intent upon creating a Horcrux would use the damage to his own advantage" he 
would encase the torn portion -"
"Encase? but how -?"'
