[BCMA] solidifying water

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Dear Wendy,

You  might try using ordinary gelatine, available at any grocery store.  If you heat it and allow it to cool in sufficient quantities (you can test----it's cheap!) you should get a clear, solid mass which won't spill.

Good luck!

Patricia
