    I think i know why that might have happ

  26. # 26 by himakshi
    February 16th, 2009 at 8:11 am #

    you are simply required to heat the gealtin lightly

  27. # 27 by himakshi
    February 16th, 2009 at 8:13 am #

    its shouldnt be over heated for the it will lose its binding pwopertis

  28. # 28 by himakshi
    February 16th, 2009 at 8:14 am #

    so the best way of dealing with gealting is take some warm water and try dissolving it in it

    Yeah that could be a reason… Gelatine is highly delicate to deal with
