      @giestas  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I tried adding more vinegar, as you can see in this video: th-cam.com/video/1hDXsOrf0AY/w-d-xo.html
      and by hand feel I can't say the change in strength was significative.
      I would have to make some rigorous tests to know for sure, though.

    • @giestas
      @giestas  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It breaks the molecular structure of the starch, which changes into longer chains (polymer). This video might give you more info on this topic: th-cam.com/video/3A-lLOunRoE/w-d-xo.html

    hi, do you think using a blowtorch would eliminate the bubbles or would it ruin it? and have you found a way to speed up the drying process? a dehydrator perhaps?

    • @theaclairy8992
      @theaclairy8992 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      and i'm curious what do you use them for? is it exclusively for experimenting or do you actually have a specific use for it?

    • @giestas
      @giestas  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The dehydrator shortens the drying time to 3 days, but not a lot of people have one, so I'm looking for other ways to speed up the process. About the blowtorch, I don't know but now I'm curious, I'll have to try it out :)

    What do you mean by "parts". Can you use teaspoon or tablespoon please? I don't understand

    • @giestas
      @giestas  2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      When you see a recipe expressed in 'parts' that means you are looking at the recipe 'ratio', which is supposed to help you scale the quantity up and down.
      Example: let's say you don't have measuring spoons at home and all you have is a small coffee cup. If the ratio called for 3:1:1:1, that would be 3 cups of water, 1 cup of starch, 1 cup of vinegar, 1 cup of glycerin.
      Then, let's say you wanted a bioplastic that was double the size. Following the same ratio 3:1:1:1 all you need to do is double the numbers, so that would be: 6 cups of water, 2 cups of starch, 2 cups of vinegar, 2 cup of glycerin.
