Ceramics - magic water


Expert: Leisha Hiester - 2/3/2009

Question
Hello !
Can you provide any recipes for MAGIC WATER ?
I can purchase this product here in toronto, but the ingredients are a secret. I'd like to make some. One potter claimed there are 6 known recipes. Yikes.
Feedback appreciated.
Also,  what are the primary uses of MAGIC WATER ?
My impression is that it is used to join 'dried' unfired clay pieces, together.
hmmm.....

Answer
Jim,
I have heard time and time again that people swear by Lana Wilson's recipe.

Magic Water from Lana Wilson
1 gallon water
9.5 grams sodium silicate
3 grams soda ash

Here's a site too that I use often & save threads from;

Hope this helps. Leisha
