Agar Ag11 (1.5mm Film, with Plasticizer)

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 fragile

Notes:

  • This might be actually cast into a more accurate 1.5mm film

  • Super flexible and streatchable

  • Has no strength WHATSOEVER, it will just rip in your hands

  • Seems to be perpetually wet for some reason

  • Lacking a significant amount of agar

  • IDK why I did this

  • Same recipe as Ag09, but with different drying thickness (assuming that the last film was not actually cast 1.5mm)
