Good find, never knew you could do this. One question though; Does it matter on the milk? Whole, 2% or 1%?

Ok, for all of you who don't know what you're talking about, this is not cheese. there is a chemical called casein within milk which is very similar to the long polymers in plastics you see today. once formed it makes A knid of plastic called galalith: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galalith , so yes this is a real plastic.

This blew-out my my understanding of plastic; not being polymer based.

Very good.

Do you know if I could use this as a mold? How much of each ingrediant do you use? If anyone knows what I can use for a home made mold (not the kind that grows in your refrigerator) please let me know. Thanks.

No this is an example of a very early plastic/glue called Casein. Very good.

[abarratt]

thats definitely cheese not plastic. Well documented though.

[IconicIdea]

Once again people confuse plastic for cheese and cheese for something that resembles cheese.

Have you used the 'plastic' in any 'build'? Can it be used & what further process would be required do you think?

Great experiment!
