How to turn milk into a hard plastic nearly as strong as stone! All we need for this simple kitchen science experiment is milk, vinegar and a strainer. You can make all kinds of shapes and designs using this "plastic-like" material. In fact, this is the stuff they used before plastic was around!

Instructions:
Take 1 warm cup of milk and mix with 1 tablespoon of white vinegar. Basically, for every cup of milk you use, add 1 tablespoon of vinegar and you can make a much larger batch. Mix it together and strain out the curds that form. Once you dry it you can mold it into any shape you desire, but let it dry for a couple days first!

  • i wonder if i could make brass knuckles and call them milk knuckles

  • My guess is that "Milk Knuckles" while an AWESOME premise... would probably shatter after a couple uses. But let's be honest here... how often would you really need them?

  • i shouldnt watch all these scientific videos. they make me want to do weird things in my kitchen. .

  • Good! Explore them!

  • Hi there, got a question please: how fireproof do you think this substance is? For instance would you be able to pour molten metal into it for castings? do you think you might be able to use this for creating negative clay molds? ... thanks for your vids, regards

  • I did not test the fireproof abilities of it. I would not suggest building a house out of it, but it will most likely withstand temperatures pre-200 F
