Step 2Mixture
The Ratio I mixed with was 1 part corn starch and 1 part water. Feel free to change this based on the use of your plastic.
For a more rigid plastic, add more corn starch.
For a more flexible/ squishy plastic add more water.
I mixed them in a sandwich bag.
If you want to add in some vegetable or canola oil (I used canola) and it will help keep it together a little bit
for every 2 cups of MIXED water and corn starch I added 1 tablespoon of oil. But of course you can change this based on your intended use of the plastic.
Make sure to get all the bumps of corn starch out you want it to be completely dissolved
It should look a bit like milk.

I made a bio plastic similar but with vinigar and gluconate it stayed a gel. For a day and I through it away. Did I just need to wait longer?
