Earthborn Elements Methylcellulose (12 oz), No Emulsifiers Or Additives, Food Grade

Here’s a tip: although the directions say mix with cold water, this powder actually only dissolves in hot water or juice. Add a small amount of powder at a time, stirring constantly, and it works well. Clean up with hot water ASAP too.

The package says to dissolve in cold water. I tried fridge cold water, ice water, cold tap water, room temp, and warm water from the tap. Disgusting clumps every time. I also tried to blend it but it made a stiff egg white mix that’s not drinkable. I tried mixing into liquid iv also didn’t work at multiple temps. I bought this to avoid sugar so I’m not going to waste money on juice. I can’t return it - Amazon won’t let me, so I’m very unhappy. Mostly unhappy it doesn’t work and I try to chose like it down but it causes me to gag esp with the chemical taste.

I used about a full tablespoon in one cup of warm water. It mixed together nicely but took about half an hour to 45 minutes to really thicken up. I was using the mixture to remove an animal hide glue from the spine of a book. I spread a decent layer of the mixture over the spine of the book and let it sit for about half an hour. After letting it sit for a bit the most of the glue was softened and scraped right off, it only took one more treatment to full clean the spine of glue. This tub will definitely last me a long time but i will definitely be buying again if i ever need more

I wanted methyl cellulose without all the sugar & additives so ordered this. Almost returned because of problem getting it dissolved properly & completely. After reading a few reviews, dissolved in small amount of very warm water. Added cold water which made it very thick. Then requested a return. Before sending back, decided to dilute with slightly warm liquid. That did the trick as hot water causes globs to form. It's very tricky to get the correct temp of liquid for diluting to avoid thickening or forming globs. But when in my system, it works extremely well.

Product does not dissolve as stated in cold water or any water. Not usable. I would give it zero stars if I could.
