# Agar Ag03 (Solid, with Plasticizer)

Ingredients: 

* Water (50 mL)
* Agar agar powder (4 g)
* Glycerol (1.5 g)

Procedure:

* Mix all the ingredients into a pan or pot
* Heat up all the ingredients to 80-95 C on the stove
* Mix thoroughly
* Take off heat and put it into a mold after about 10 minutes of stirring or after the gel is very thick and well mixed
* Let dry for a few days
* Done!

Properties:

* Before drying: like a pudding
* After drying: still like a pudding

Notes:

* This is the same recipe to Ag01, but has very different properties than Ag01 because I am using a 0.01g resolution scale compared to a 2g resolution scale in the past recipe, so portions are exact
* This time I tried using a DIY injection molder (read more in the "Tools" section)
