Where to buy sodium silicate for dinos in Canada ?

[Idech]

I don’t see anything on Amazon.ca except 2 products that cost 55$. With tax and shipping we’re talking more than 60$.

I’ve found this product at 32$ which will cost more than 50$ with shipping. And it’s a powder, and not even sure it is what I need.

500mL SODIUM SILICATE

A clay deflocculant used sparingly to lower the amount of water necessary to produce a fluid slip or, as “Magic Water”, to join together softer and stiffer pieces of clay. In higher concentrations it is used to produce crackle effects on fresh clay or as the air-dry and hi-temp “glue” in...

I saw it but they ship from foreign countries from what I’ve seen. It takes 4-6 weeks, there might be duties to pay and shipping is expensive.

This one would be less expensive. It doesn’t say anything on the bottle though. Is 500 ml enough ?

Sodium Silicate, N Brand – Sounding Stone

Water glass. Used as a major deflocculant in preparing slip. It reduces the amount of water needed, therefore reducing shrinkage and leaving the clay denser and stronger. SDS Sheet

That is probably OK. I cannot see much info on it. It's plenty.

@Randy Holmes-Farley they sent me this spec sheet. Am I right that this product is 37.5% silicate ?

Thanks again for your time !
