Making Sodium Silicate Quick, Cheap and So Easy to Make. Super Simple But Highly Concentrated.

I decided I would make my own sodium silicate as the price was to high for me and I need a lot. I will be making a foundry, a forge, a rocket cob oven, 2 rocket stoves and a mini rocket stove. So as you can understand I will need a huge quantity if I am to use it as a high temperature adhesive. After making this video I was really surprised how easy it was. I had watched some other YouTube videos and read a lot about it and each article I read outlined how to do it but slightly different from the next. I decided to take all that I had read and average it out. The result was a really concentrated sodium silicate. I also believe that if you have no way to heat the mixture then you don't have to. If you add the ingredients fast enough then it should give you enough heat to melt a lot of the silica gel due to the exothermic reaction of both chemicals mixing with each other and the water. This way though you may find you don't get such a concentrated sample but it would be very close to what you can buy.
