Designing the Paint

  • How sodium silicate has been used in wood prervation from prior art of a recent patent - [6]
  • Sodium silicate preserves wood - [7]. Open source this.

Sourcing

  • $2/lb for 50 lb bag. [8]
  • Potassium silicate - <$1/lb on ton scale - [9]
  • Sodium silicate - $200/ton - [10]
  • But wikipedia says that Minaral Silicate Paint uses potassium silicate. -[11]
  • $5/lb in 50 lb bags - [12]
  • $35 for a gallon of 40% solution on Amazon - [13]

Making

  • You can make it from potash (KOH) reacted with silica desiccant beads - [14]

Buying

Other Methods

  • Acetic anhydride - autoclave treatment of wood - [15]. It is used to make heroin, so it may be restricted.
  • Article on acetylated wood - [16]
  • 55 gallons for $3k - [17]
