Water Glassing: Egg Preservation Experiment!

[Wyorp Rock]

Hello!

This my first attempt at water glassing. I'm using a half gallon glass jar with a screw top lid. I used Mrs. Wages Pickling Lime. I put the measured amount (used the example on the first post of this thread) into cool water and shook it separately from the jar over and over to make sure it was mixed. It kept settling but I read this thread and saw this is normal. I then stacked fresh eggs (approx 2 dozen) into the jar and poured the mixture over the top.

Does this look right?

I know settling is supposed to be normal but it just looks kind of weird so wanted a second opinion.

Looks normal to me.

Where'd you find those jars?

I just have Ball 1/2 gallon jars, but yours looks like a different shape, that may be easier to remove eggs.

Oops! I forgot to respond to this. I got the jars on Amazon specifically for this reason. I wanted glass but wanted a wide mouth (easier for reaching in). Here's the link: https://a.co/d/bc4mKyl

I love these jars! I've been needing something like these to store flour in, something with a wide mouth for measuring. Thanks!

You're welcome! I like them. Comes in a 2 pack and the lid screws on pretty tight!

Thank you!
Those look to be wider, so easier to use. I'll have to order some
