    I have a Hobbies and Crafts magazine from the 1940s and it shows how to make "trick" matches by dipping the stalks of a match into waterglass up to the head, then letting dry and putting them back into the box. The waterglass is invisible. You then give them to a friend and watch their frustration as they light them, the head flares up and they go out instantly after that!

    Some of the facts are inaccurate. They show an image of a crackle glaze effect and attributed to sodium silicate which is not the case. Hopefully no new Potter's will attempt to get a crackle glaze effect by using sodium silicate. Sodium silicate will cause a crackled clay body not glaze it would actually prevent a glaze from crackling because of the addition of silica. If you are developing a glaze and it's not intended to be a crackle glaze yet you find it crackling the first thing you do is recalculate more silica into the formula.

    @J d are you just a bad troll or an asshole? Or both? Again they show a glaze effect of crackle and attributed to water glass which has nothing to do with the picture they show. That particular crackle effect is caused by the makeup of the glaze and I can assure you it is not water glass that's added. Typically you get that effect with abundance of nepheline syenite and they lack of silica. Sodium silicate would actually prevent the crackle effect that they show in the image provided. Sodium silicate is used on the clay body itself to crack the clay body not the glaze as shown in the picture. So someone that is new to Pottery is going to try and get that glaze effect which is desirable an attempt to use sodium silicate on the clay body as Illustrated and the two things are totally different techniques. To call this a great video when there's a glaring are like that it's pretty fucking stupid. Also it's more accurate for them to have said carbon dioxide causes sodium silicate AKA water glass to harden but they do not add that information they say heat causes it which is inaccurate. I don't understand why smart-ass people have to be contrary to every comment that is not placating a video creator. Are you the creator of this video or a friend? If so tell your friend to fix their fucking video it's incorrect and misleading

    in short, no. you can only use it as a watery binder. it "might" be possible to fill a mould with water glass, slowly drive out the water, leaving you with porous silica gel, and heat it up to basically melt it into glass. but it will be far from what you can expect from casting epoxy. ..and propably not very pretty if you add SiO2 to NaOH solution, all you do is making a sodium silicate solution - water glass. (proceed with caution! the reaction es exothermic, and NaOH is highly caustic.)

If I am not bothering you I will post a few questions more that I have posted to this video also : kzread.info/dash/bejne/fmanksWFqtCagqw.html The questions : There are a few contradictions about sodium silicate... It is used as heat - resistant adheshive, as a cracking - effect glass solution, in ceramics and as a refractory agent. But it is also used as a water soluble element in detergents. How is it possible to be a great adheshive compound and a water soluble chemic in the same time ? This is very interesting to find out how all these contradictory uses, can be achieved with the same compound.... Any ideas ?

    Liquid glass can be added to a coolant system on a vehicle to seal leaks caused by a blown head gasket. It is a sodium silicate that crystallizes in cracks when it dries, providing a temporary barrier and is most effective when used on cars with iron cylinder heads.

    @@jussayinmipeece1069 plasticizer is the wrong way of thinking about it. it is a -deflocculant. it means less water is needed to provide a fluid mix. This can really screw you up if you mix your concrete by sight/feel, rather than weighing ingredients. It has uses when trying to cast concrete/mortar and get it to fill more easily all of the voids in a mold. might be helpful for grouting (filling the holes in) concrete masonry units. A more experienced and knowledgeable mason or concrete engineer could tell you better if it's a good idea for a particular application. There are other defloccuants out there that are less alkaline, based on other chemistry, etc.

    @@jon_byler actually its just different ways of saying the same thing. An additive that reduces the friction between the solid components, breaks the surface tension of the liquids allowing the mixture to flow and mix better with less water. The technical name i have always seen is plasticizer. Generally unless you are casting critical components such as bridges and columns for high-rises then the amount does not have to be critically mixed. Eyeballing and experience is usually enough to a certain extent. Say for example i am doing a mix for a suspended slab for a roof 6 inches thick. For every batch with 5 bags of cement i pour one one liter of regular coke or a pint of molasse with one 2 pounds of fibre. In this case i am looking for THREE things flow into small crevices, (so less voids and air) compactness and longer initial curing time. So the net result is that the additive will have no deleterious effect on the actual concrete once its cured but it will slow water evaporation allowing for the chemical formulation of concrete BEFORE it runs out of water leading to cracks.
