An alternative to gelatin.

Wasn't there some experiments with latex years ago???

Thing about vegetarianism is... vegetarians tend to replace meat with dairy produce.

I.e: Food products made from the lactose secretion of cows that is no longer needed to feed the baby calf that has just been slaughtered for veal.

I can understand Vegans getting hot under the collar about gelatine, but vegetarians?

My cousin went vegan for a while. He lived in a damp house. Determined not to use any animal produce at all he redecorated using wallpaper paste guaranteed free of animal products.

Then his wallpaper fell off...

When I was a child, wall paper paste was made from pure wheat paste. I remember helping mix the stuff.

We live in the UK. It is cold and damp. Trust me... you need the fish glue over here

Only as much as your films stink of cow :-)

Hmm, fresh film stinks like some benign organic solvents, and the roll films smell like the glue on the tape that you seal a used roll with. Kodak Park used to smell like that.

Lots of gelatin can smell as well, particularly mixed up and going bad. I have not really enjoyed Jello since I went to work for Kodak.

I was gifted the remains of a biochem reseach division stores of a company's chem stocks after a bankruptcy. In it there was a stock of fish gelaton. I was never able to get a good sizing when using it with my cyanotyoe efforts. So down the toilet (for real) it went.

Yea, Mike, we couldn't get it to work very well either!

Hi All,
Sorry that I have not participated lately. Here are 2 examples of emulsions containing no gelatin. At risk of sounding like a broken record B&S has a supply of Kuraray R1130, which is what I currently use in place of gelatin.
Cheers Bill
P.S. Sorry if I have posted these befor.
