Need attention: alternate pressing and drying, (press overnight, let dry through the day for example, or leave to dry on a roster). Leave it to dry as long as is feasible with lots of airflow.
Final form achieved after: 10 days
## Ingredients
***Gelatine powder - 96 gr**
***Gelatine powder - 48 gr**
* Functions as the polymeer (so it becomes a solid)
***Glycerine - 16 gr**
***Glycerine - 48 gr**
* Functions as plasticizer that bonds with the gelatine (makes it flexible). This recipe has a bit more glycerine to make the foil less rigid. It doesn't have the "crackling" sound as a result.
***Water - 480 ml/gr**
***Water - 240 ml/gr**
* To dissolve and mix the polymeer and plasticizer
