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.
