[BCMA] solidifying water

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Hi Wendy,
You could use gelatin, if it's for a limited time. If it's for a longer
period of time, go to a craft store and ask for the gel candle supplies.
The liquid used for that is clear, like water, and can be dyed to coffee
colour. That can definitively be left out and will last for a really long
time.

Kind regards,
Christina Reid
