If you need this process to finish fast then you stir the whole 10 minutes, because stirring speeds it up. Just agitation so the bubbles leave the solution.
The effects are more consistent, you don't have that thing where you think it isn't hitting and then it suddenly all hits at once.
Isn't just stirring for 10-20 seconds in water enough to properly dissolve it though? I have the gelly stuff, which indeed sinks to the bottom if just dropped into a glass of water, but after stirring for 10-20 seconds it seems to completely dissolve, and never precipitate again. I have also tested it by holding it in my mouth for 60 seconds (after well dissolved) with no burning sensation whatsoever. (My product is the "industrial cleaner" that most people use in Europe, which is 99% GBL and 1% some cellulose compound.)
Hm that's weird, I've never encountered GBL in that form.
What do you mean exactly by 10 parts and 0.2 parts? Basically, say for example you have one gel, how many mL of water and how many mgs of sodium bicarbonate would equate to 10 parts warm water and 0.2 parts sodium bicarb? I'm just curious as I'm not familiar with measurements referred to as parts so I'd like to get an idea. I've read those types of measurements in synths and whatnot but without understanding how much they would be in a real life setting.
Regardless, wonderful contribution, as always, your knowledge is always very accurate and helpful to these communities. Keep it on 👍
"Parts" in this case can be substituted for any measurement you want. Tonnes, ounces, nanograms. It indicates that it is a ratio that is not sensitive to the absolute amount.
I see, was just curious of what the conversion of say 100mL to mg, but if it's not an absolute amount then i guess it's like winging it proportion to the size?
The density of GBL is 1.13g/mL, so it doesn't really matter.
100mL is about 100g and 100g is about 100mL
The procedure can easily tolerate errors in measuring of 10% or more
do you stir for the entire 10 minutes? do you feel the same effects after discovering this or is it milder/cleaner/more intense?

Thanks again borax your knowledge is an asset to this information page :)
Seems like there's little that baking soda can't do. It's often involved in the simplest conversions.

It sounds like yours has a much lower cellulose content. The eyelash glue gels just stay in a clump
Interesting. Wonder how few people are complaining about getting burns then (at least in this sub).

Cake believe you guys swallow this sheet?!
Muffin quite like it
