Most pottery / ceramic shops will have it. It is used to get the
bubbles out faster when casting. Paint stores that carry theartical
supplies will have it. There it is used to make crackle paint. Most
special effect shops will have it. Do a google .

I've bought sodium silicate from the drug store. Bartell's as a matter
of fact. There's one just up the hill from you Grant, on 85th going
towards Redmond. It was on the shelf. The last time I bought any was
about 15 years ago though.

Is sodium silicate easily available? The beauty of EDR to me is that you can
just use stuff you probably either already have or can get at the grocery store.

I found sodium silicate solution at a pottery supply place here in
town (Mnpls).
My suspects are Farm and Ranch supplies - Sodium Silicate - water glass -
is used to over-coat eggs. And naturally foundry work...
It is also used to 'glue' slick surfaces together...
