Recipe for "magic water" for making slip for hand built and wheel thrown clay pottery?

Does anyone have the recipe for making the "magic water" that you make slip with? I know that sodium silicate, soda ash, a small bit of rag paper, and water in it, but I don't know what quantities to use. Anyone know the quantities? Thanks!

1. Do you belong to a group or class? When I went to classes we had a tutor who had been a professional potter and she made slip from just ordinary tap water and clay. Sorry it's not really an answer to your question, but I hope someone can be more specific. Good luck!
