Magic Water

 

Marian Williams’ Pottery
Attaching handles, welding seams, joining pieces of clay….Problems?!
Here is the easy solution!
Magic Water!  Lana Wilson’s recipe is (from website):
Magic Water
1 Gallon Water
9.5 Grams Sodium Silicate
3 Grams Soda Ash
OR
1 Gallon Water
3 Tablespoons of Liquid Sodium Silicate
1 1/2 Teaspoons of Soda Ash source
I use a toothbrush to score and apply and have had really great success!  No more messy slip and cracks in pieces during the drying process!

I found on Marian William's Blog. Link below.
