## Description

Penguin Pottery's Sodium Silicate Solution is used to deflocculate (ie. prevent lumping) casting slips. This solution is water-soluble and is made with soda and silica. Over time, plaster will absorb the solution and will deteriorate / erode. Sodium Silicate can also be used to create a crackled texture on ceramic surfaces. Please note that sodium silicate will be damaged if frozen or kept in cold temperatures.

Review: كان سريع التوصيل ومنتج ممتاز يعتمد عليه
Review: I purchased this Penguin Pottery sodium silicate to make magic water using soda ash, and it worked really well for that purpose. I did not use it for crackle effects like some people do, but as an alternative to traditional slip it performed exactly how I hoped. When mixed with soda ash, it creates a strong bond and works great for joining clay pieces during hand building. It applies easily and holds parts together well without needing additional support. Plus no slip mess in my studio! If you are a ceramic artist or potter looking to make magic water or want an alternative to slip for clay construction, this sodium silicate is a solid option and does the job reliably.

## Features

- PREVENT LUMPING IN CLAY SLIP CASTING - Deflocculate casting slips (ie. prevent lumping). Our sodium silicate causes the particles of clay to repel one another and remain suspended. Please note that, over time, plaster will absorb the solution and will deteriorate / erode.
- CREATE A CRACKLED SURFACE - If you want to achieve a super-interesting crackled clay surface, you can apply Penguin Pottery sodium silicate to your piece right after you finish throwing (before you fire it). Just apply with a brush, wait until it dries, and the place your hands inside the piece and expand the sides.
- HIGH TEMPERATURE ADHESIVE FOR RAKU KILNS - Can be used to bond various types of fiberglass sheets, with excellent resistance to high temperatures, making it suitable for bonding fiberglass sheets used in making a Raku kiln.
- [1% FOR SCHOOLS] - The Penguin Fund is Penguin Pottery's commitment to the future of ceramics. We donate 1% of sales to underserved public schools that need support for their ceramics classes. We also support artists through the Craft Emergency Relief Fund (CERF+).
