# 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)
