That's what I figured. I think we got taken!! That's probably why I gave

up and shoved it to the back of the cupboard. If I remember right you

also have to mix it with a lye and water mixture, too and since I don't

have lye in the house I'll probably never use it anyway. I don't even

know what the shelf life is on this product and mine's already a couple

of years old so.....

Thanks for the info, though. And if you DO find out anything down the

road let me know.

RE: Re: PolyEm and PolyGel

Thanks . You have the same paper I have, but no instructions.

I emailed Ellen's Essentials where I got the stuff and they said:

That was 3 years ago. I no longer have the files for the

instructions. But you can find recipes with some footwork. Check out

Noveon/BF Goodrich or do a search for Carbopol.

I did a search and found out that carbopol is a thickener or gel that

does

not require ewax, but nothing else. Labcolours trademarked the words

PolyEm and PolyGel. Now that Jenn from LabColours is in LaLa Land we

may

never get an answer. I'm going to email her tomorrow, but don't ever

expect an answer.

I haven't looked for recipes yet. I'm only on a few other boards, but

may

post there to see if anyone else has some info. I'll try to keep you in

the loop. It may take a while as I'm not moving too fast these days.

, you are right, but only a tiny bit of lye so it probably not worth

buying a whole can of it since you dont use it anyway.

(That's what I get for answering posts when I'm way behind, before I read

ahead to see if it's already been answered!) Sounds like Shaye has lots of good

info on this stuff. Let us know how it turns out!

Thanks, Shaye-you are a wealth of info! :-)
