Egg glassing is Sodium silicate. We used to use that to also seal auto-radiator and head gasket leaks. This is from my neighbor who said that during the depression with no refrigeration they would jar fresh eggs in a lime solution, and it was supposed to keep them edible for at least 6 months or more without refrigeration.

Maybe you have found more than me so far... But I just heard about it and just now diving into it as real and usable without killing myself... lol

I've heard it called water glassing, too.

Sodium silicate or pickling lime.

I tried that years ago and it was a stinking failure.
The eggs continued their biological process, all the way into decomposition.

I would not invest too much into this.
