Pour 250 ml of a high ppm colloidal silver solution in a glass dish. Empty one bag of polymer into it, and let it "wet" (it just takes a few minutes). Then add a full vial of TriethanolAmine, the solution will quickly turn into a thick gel. It is that easy!>>>>> I'm also concerned about the chemicals being used. Here is a former post on this subject: Date: Wed, 2 Oct 2002 10:26:49 +0100 (GMT Standard Time) From: "Rod Stevenson" <[email protected]> To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> I've not tried making an ointment with CS, but I have tried making a gel, with and with out aloe vera. Its very easy and your CS won't need to be heated to a high temp. ( as it does if your making a cream or ointment) Here's a recipe. (with thanks to Marshall for the ph bit) 90ml CS 2ml Xanthum Gum 10ml Aloe Vera concentrate (I use 1:10) a few drops of a preservative, such as grapefruit seed extract. sodium bicarb Gently heat the CS till it's lukewarm (this will make the gum melt more easily) sprinkle the gum and beat vigorously. If you don't want to introduce air bubbles into your mixture, keep the whisk on the bottom of the pan. Add the AV concentrate and preservative. (I've found that after about three weeks the gel develops a mould of some description. This is about two weeks longer than using just water, so the CS is doing something, just not for very long.) Bring the mixture back to around 7ph with sodium bicarb using litmus paper. You can use other thickening agents such as cellulose gum, roughly twice as much should do it. Give it a try, it's quick and simple to make. Good Luck! Rod Nancy -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
