The higher viscosity makes perfect sense. There is
a well known example of this of this phenomena (to
Soil Mechanicians at any rate). Clays can be divided
into two broad classes; that where the shape of the
mineral grains tends to the spherical and that where
the shape tends to the flakey. For grains of equal
mass the Liquid and Plastic Limits are much higher
for the flakey than for the spherical.
No doubt about it to my mind. Polywater is real.
I think we should all stand and sing a little hymn
to honour the resurrection of Polly Water. <G>
