-note: Less glycerol will create a more brittle but harder material, more glycerol will make a flexible and softer sheet. You can get different hardness (or elasticity) depending on the quantities of gelatin, glycerol and water you put inside your mixture. You can also change the opacity and create foam with spitting air inside the heated mix. +Less glycerol will create a more brittle but harder material, more glycerol will make a flexible and softer sheet.

-  - First mix the cold water and the gelatin powder in the pan without heating. +
-  - Gradually, the mixture turns into a granular yellow pale paste. +
-  - Then start heating the preparation while stirring slowly so that there are no lumps. +
-  - Once the preparation has become liquid and homogeneous add the glycerin into the mixture. +
-  - Continue mixing and heating until you begin to see a whitish deposit on the surface of your mixture. If you want a transparent matter you have to remove completely this white foam with a spoon. You can also make more foam by adding air inside your mix. +
-  - Now pour your mixture into the mold or the prepared surface.+
  
 The drying time depends on several factors : the dosages of water, gelatin and glycerol put in the mixture ; the thickness of your final product and also the temperature and humidity of the room in which you made it dry. It's best to wait a week of drying before taking off the bioplastic. If you remove it too soon, it's most likely that it will deform by continuing to dry. The drying time depends on several factors : the dosages of water, gelatin and glycerol put in the mixture ; the thickness of your final product and also the temperature and humidity of the room in which you made it dry.
