Geopolymer precursor liquids aren't frog friendly.😒🐸 https://t.co/Ib1BeLm6d7
I was told ~125-150 lbs.
Do you think the crating accounts for the extra 195 lbs? 😆I'm suddenly less motivated to move it. 😂 https://t.co/YnOhcsf3OH
Excess alkali silicate in solution to buffer particles from agglomerating and growing. https://t.co/n7LBn4lAME

This is real geopolymer.
No slaked lime here. https://t.co/kErfZ1ciYR
Two-stage ceramic pour.
Inner core: perlite fully coated in ceramic gel → lightweight insulation + thermal buffer.
Outer skin: pure ceramic gel → strength + abrasion resistance.
Wet-on-wet bond = no seam, no crack.
This is how you make a kiln breathe, not break. https://t.co/bN4BCvP7bb
Going to try a fusion melt on the TiO2 next. Grok suggests molten KOH should be able to make soluble titanates. https://t.co/QR4YvPGNlY
Place your bets in the poll below.👇
Ingredients, phosphoric acid, TiO2, diatoms, water.
Schrödingers geopolymer...
Measurements on a porous material after drying does not necessarily provide the original coordination when the material was formed in an aqueous environment.
My guess: the dark band is 200–500 nm particles, just above colloidal size.
The surprise, https://t.co/oI4DndL5n4
