Ingredient | Amount(12cm×16cm mold) |
Water | 150mL |
M450 | 7.75g |
Glycerin | 1.6g |
The amount should be scaled by the size of the mold.
Tools: Electronic scale, 300mL beaker, 5mL pipette, pot, heat plate, and stirring rod.
1. Mix and stir water, M450, and glycerin at 170-190°C until M450 gets dissolved and the solution gets vicious. Add small amounts of water when a noticeable amount of it has been evaporated.
(2. Add pigments on-demand in step 1.)
3. Pour the solution into a sieve to sift plumps. Make the bowl beneath to get heated in case the solution gets solid before mold making.
4. Pour the sieved solution into a mold evenly. Spray 75% ethanol and gently strike the mold against table to reduce bubbles.
Color: transparent
Thickness: 6.4mm
Toughness: flexible but not tear-resistant
Notes:
Trial 1 turns to be with a small number of bubbles but noticeable plumps of solute. Trial 2 is dissolved well for tuning the temperature at around 190-195°C, while for I added the ingredients twice halfway, the whole sheet is filled with bubbles.
