Ingredients: 

* Water (40 mL)
* Agar agar powder (1 g)
* Glycerol (2 g)

Procedure:

* Mix all the ingredients into a pan or pot
* Heat up all the ingredients to 85-90 C on the stove
* Mix thoroughly
* Lower heat if bubbles are forming on the bottom of the pan
* Take off heat after about 4 minutes of stirring or until the agar is fully dissolved (the solution is at least 85 C and thicker than when started)
* Let dry for a few days on a smooth surface such as glass or silicone. Remember to pour it in a thick (2-3?mm) film
* Done!

Properties:

* Before drying: like a very thin colorless syrup that's almost milky
* After drying: a very durable and thin film that's translucent but not transparent

Notes:

* This is the best film so far!
