thank you for making this, im going to use it to make suitable origami paper, so probably need to add more water to make it thinner, I dont want super-hard sheets.

Hi Jim, thank for the video. I'm having a struggle when i tried to make the gel (i used HMPC) for edible film. it's not getting like a gel like yours, it's like lumps and have a sticky texture. Do you have some advice? Thank you. Sorry for my grammar mistakes

Very impressive Video

Is carboxy methyl cellulose the same

Very straightforward, thank you. Does it mold?

Hi Jim, thanks for this video. I'm having a struggle not getting lumps when I make it. I'm even putting it into a strainer and gently sprinkling a litttttle bit in at a time. I know you mixed it for a lot longer than the video shows but it seems once lumps have formed stirring won't help. Do you have any hints you could share?

Thank you @JimEscalante for posting this video. For those interested, here are some of my experiences so far having mixed a couple of batches for use as a neri substitute. First Batch: I made a half sized recipe from the video and wow did it thicken up quickly, not in seconds, but minutes, and within 2 hours it went from very thin to very thick, I was able to drip it from the spoon and have it make layers. Then over the next few hours it got even thicker, like past slime consistency to approaching a molten rubber-like consistency. Then after about 6 hours I had a very squishy, very slippery hockey puck! I then left this uncovered overnight and the consistency didn't change much, just the top portion dried a little. I tried adding more water to it, but this was cold water and I later learned that doing this can actually cause the mass to dry out, so the outer most portions remain slick, but the center begins to dry out. The next morning I tried adding hot water to my squishy, slimy, hockey puck to thin it out and it just sat in the 120F water and laughed at me!!! Lesson learned, a very little Methyl Cellulose goes a very long way!!! Second batch: I mixed 1.5 teaspoons with at first 200ml of a mixture of cold tap water and boiling hot water right from the kettle and the Methyl Cellulose mixed fairly easily. I found that it's easier to sort of sprinkle it on the surface, then wait for any clumps to disperse before stirring, if you get clumps, you can cause them to break up by drizzling a little of the liquid over them and they will spread out and dissolve evenly. Once mixed this too began to thicken quickly, so I then added another 100ml of 50/50 cold/hot water and mixed this and all seemed well for a moment, then that too began to be way too thick, so I added in another 100ml (the volume on the beaker is showing 400ml) and now as the beaker is cooling the mixture is the consistency of a thick syrup, which I assume will get even thicker over the next few hours... This time I will cover it.

Is this paste shiny?

Hi.. Can use I cmc in making phenyl /floor cleaner?

I am planning on making hand sanitizer with HPMC, and was wondering if you think i should mix the proper ratios of water and alcohol together first, or use this method and then add the alcohol after. Thank you so much! Thank you for sharing your knowledge on this!

Very helpful thank you. Do you have to refrigerate the gel and if you do, does it have to be at room temperature to use?

Hi Jim. I tried to make the gel per how you had done it but the powder just settles to the bottom and I did let it sit overnight. Any thoughts to what I'm doing wrong? Thank you

Thanks a lot for this ! I have done the process but I don’t know why it hasn’t gelled up... it’s still runny... any idea what I am doing wrong ? I want to use it to burnish the furry side of leather...last not least does it have to be stored in a glass container? Or a plastic container is fine?

I have watched this video for 2 mins and it still does not mention what the powder is? Thank you

You probably eat this every day. I'm truly baffled by people that watch a video on youtube then are too lazy to do a quick search on the computer or phone they are watching the video on but would take the time to post a stupid question. "In the film Ghostbusters, the gooey substance the supernatural entities used to "slime" the Ghostbusters was mostly a thick water solution of methyl cellulose. The Aliens ooze and drip a great deal of methyl cellulose-especially the queen." "Methyl cellulose (or methylcellulose) is a chemical compound derived from cellulose. It is sold under a variety of trade names and is used as a thickener and emulsifier in various food and cosmetic products, and also as a bulk-forming laxative. Like cellulose, it is not digestible, not toxic, and not an allergen."

?? you whisked powder into water. wow that's it?

Oh no he's got a meth lab!!!
