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
