ede Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 After paying $50.00 for each for my last bottles of Rigidizer, I've had enough. I discovered on a thread on alloyavenue that the pottery supply Axner appears to have some of the best prices for Rigidizer I have seen, although I haven't checked out their shipping. Axner also appears to be in Florida, AKA Irma's aftermath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasent Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I used a cup of silica in a pint of water. Idk if it's proper amount but it worked very well on my forge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Binesman Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I thre silca in and stirred u till i got something akin to uncooked outmeal. Then i trowled it all on and let it sit for 2 days. I feel i may have used more silica then necessary. But it got the kob done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Binesman: I think you're closing in on Charles for . . . interesting and amusing spelling. Yeah, that's WAY too thick, you want to be able to use it in a spray bottle or paint brush. It's supposed to soak into the blanket some and make it stiffer, not just a surface coat. Man, I GOTTA ask, what do you get paid to do a kob? Do I even want to know what a kob is? A LITTLE Jet dry in the water will help the solution mix more easily. Frosty The Lucky.
