...in mixing lowfire slip. I've been having trouble getting sodium silicate from my supplier, and they've set me up with Darvin 7 as a replacement. Not sure how much to use on proportion to using sodium silicate. Any suggestions?
Thanx,
Red
Has anyone any experience with Darvin 7...

I had a ferret around and came up with this:
It mentions Darvan # 7 (note spelling) as a sub for Sodium Silicate, but naturally doesn't specify percentages, as these vary from clay to clay, non-the-less it looks helpful.
I think you are going to have to find someone who is making up a similar body as a base and get the proportions from them.
Good luck.

Thanx much, Steve. The spelling was probably why when I Googled it I didn't get much.
Thanx again,
Red
