    All good questions. Warm milk works better. When working with the plastic, the hotter the water the more the plastic can stretch. Casein can take a week to dry, thickness of the item will determine this. Casein plastic (Galalith) shrinks about 10% when drying. I am glad you have time to try things now. Stay home and stay safe.

    I only warm to increase the reaction rate. I was taught by the old nuns to not let the milk boil or it will spoil the reaction. 80C sounds too high. I am sure you can use Ultra Pasteurized milk. Even Powered will do just fine. But hey, give it a go and let us know. I could do a video on using 'long life milk' if it works for you.

    I had to research HILO milk. It is simply 2% milk and will work just fine. I am sure I talked about removing the fat from the Casein, by rinsing repeatedly in 91% Isopropyl Alcohol to improve the plastic properties of Casein, so using 2% is preferred. Forge ahead, crafter.

    What percentage of Protein is in milk? That is the number you want. 'A whole bunch, so much, milk is white'. - Martin 'Casein is a protein that makes up approximately 80 percent of the total protein content of cow's milk'. - Wikipedia. There was a movie with Will Smith. The old guy told him...'you must first ask (the AI) the right question. Try using full sentences in your searches, it helps the AI understand context. I simply asked 'how much Casein do you get from one gallon of milk'? Bottom line, do the project and make the measurement yourself to know the answer for fact.😉

    Hi! What’s the difference between casein plastic and cheese? Also, since I read that this is how you make cheese, why is this bad to ingest?

  • @GEOsustainable

    @GEOsustainable

    6 ай бұрын

    2 great questions, and apropos to very indigestion I have right now. There is no difference between cheese and Casein. Cheese is flavored, some are fermented, and has more fat because it is whole milk, and fat is flavor to a chef. Casein plastic has had as much fat taken out as possible and has been purified with alcohol. I showed that process in a video. Galalith has been pressed to several thousands of degrees so the proteins can never unwind and will remain waterproof. Casein is very hard to digest because now you have a lump of highly coiled proteins that take forever to unwind in the stomach. I recently downed an entire Large pizza and now have a rock in my stomach that will take days to digest. Milk causes this because stomach acid precipitates the Casein out of milk so you end up quickly digesting the Whey in the form of tiny bubbles ;) coming out the other end, and left with a ball of Casein in your stomach, this old man just discovered. Doctors have also concluded that humans don't digest cow milk very well, what doctors call lactose intolerant. It has been linked to skin problems. And so, on. You may want to do some more research on that.

    Casein looks like Cottage Cheese once it has precipitated out of the Whey. You will see the process beginning once I hold it up. You see the separation better in the video I posted for making Galalith jewelry. Galalith is made from milk in the same process I began here.
