Agar Ag09 (1.5mm Film, with Plasticizer)

Don't do this

Ingredients:

  • Water (40 mL)

  • Agar agar powder (0.5 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 glass. Remember to spread it in a thin (1.5mm) film.

  • Done!

Properties:

  • Before drying: like a very thin colorless syrup that's almost milky

  • After drying: very thin with no strength whatsoever

Notes:

  • Literally no strength; it rips so easily

  • It has no elasticity; it will just rip wide open

  • I don't think I actually spread it in a 1.5mm film, probably thinner
