Hello everybody!
Can I make glue, for glass, mixing methyl cellulose with water??? [Actually I am seeking a way to create something like gel i.e. thicker than regular liquid glue]

Or

Does it have to be mixing CMC with water???
Of course, with the right proportions.

Many thanks in advance,

Havi

Easy to do. Here are the instructions: http://richardlalonde.com/liquid-glass-line-updated/

Thank you "know All" Brad!!



Just copied to my notebook LaLonde's instructions.
However, I am asking if it is possible to make a thickened glue NOT from CMC but from METHYL CELLULOSE.... Is it the same, or different?

Many thanks,

Havi
ps look for a pm from me

CMC is carboxyl methyl cellulose. Methyl Cellulose is chemically a bit different, but has many of the same properties. But since both are used as food thickeners and as glues, I would give it a try using Richard's procedure. I'd be surprised if it didn't work.

Remember -- make it up a little thicker than the recipe. You can always dilute later, but you can't thicken it after it's been made.

Thanks!

Just an update.
I did some textures with. Methyl cellulose - it works very well for me!

Thanks again for the advise, Brad.

as always - this is really the best place for good relyable information
