XANTHAN GUM & BRUSH ON TECHNIQUE
Mixed ½ pint of H2O2 solution with 1/8 tsp of Oxy powder, and stirred to dissolve Oxy.
Added ¼ tsp of Xanthan Gum and stirred. The Xanthan Gum didn’t want to dissolve and instead coagulated.
Left it for 15 mins – still the same.
Added another ¼ tsp, and stirred some more.
Still coagulated.
Beginning to have doubts about the success of this method.
Left it ½ hour, and it changed consistency to a foam, floating on top of a liquid.
Another ½ hour and it’s now a foamy bubbly gel type of mixture.
Put masking tape on the test piece to outline a test area.
And then applied a thin coating of the XG mixture.
