Ingredients

Ingredient Amount
water-(in-gal) 1.00
sodium-silica-(in-tbsp) 3.00
soda-ash-(in-tsp) 1.50

Mix the soda ash into warm water to dissolve, then add the sodium silicate. Magic water can be used instead of slip when joining handles or other attachments. It requires less cleanup than slip and helps prevent cracks from forming along the joints.
