Agar Ag08 (2-3mm Film, with Plasticizer)

Do this one, it's good

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!
