Refractory trials water glass experiments

2:35 if you heat your CaCO3 putty (at 835°C+) the carbonate should decompose into calcium oxide and CO2, maybe that'll make it cure. Maybe a lower temperature would do too, if the silica is prone to react with CO2, dunno... EDIT: Ah, you did :) Probably increasing the temperature gradually over a long period would prevent it from swelling and make it cure all the way.

cellular concrete. you are the man.

[@grandadz_forge]

I got the stuff to make it. Just need to work down my list. Lol

[@MakeTeachRepeat]

The carbonate in calcium carbonate is bonded with the lime CaO. So it’s not free to set the waterglass
