Preserving The American Political Philosophy

News update on Boothbay Water. I have attempted to report my findings per the use of Boothbay water in the ceramic slip making process at the municipal and state levels to little avail. Even non-profit organizations formed in mutual interests fail to respond, consistent with my experience for many years, leading to the impression that the whole system is afraid to go against the established line of command. And so this is my venue for reporting my findings on the public water supply in the Boothbay Region. One might say that the ability to mix a functioning ceramic casting slip is its own scientific test. The results tell us only that something is amiss. A while ago I decided to try to dry the slip made from Boothbay water to a bone dry state and then mix it with my new water source to see if the materials used could be recovered. In ceramic slip casting we use plaster molds because the plaster quickly absorbs the water from the liquid slip in contact with the plaster. After a...

In my last two posts I told of a new and unprecedented difficulty I was encountering in    mixing a functioning ceramic casting slip . I traced the cause to the Boothbay   water supply and was able to mix a functioning casting slip by using water from a different source. An article published by  NASA, The Role of Water in Slipcasting   identifies a cause of the problem I was experiencing as "n on-deflocculating " additions or contaminates in the water supply. Another word for deflocculant is electrolyte Electrolytes are present in the human body ,  affecting human health and well being. I do not have the expertise to speak on that subject but I can speak about the limitations placed on the ability to know what may be affecting our environment as related to the public-private transportation project underway in close proximity to our summer and winter water supplies. Current law favors private trade secrets over the public's right to know about envir...
