Formulation and Texture Comparison of Reshape Gel and Pro Polymer

Regarding your questions about Reshape Gel and Pro Polymer:

1. Diluting pre-made Reshape Gel: The staff does not recommend diluting pre-made Reshape Gel concentrate with water like you do with Pro Polymer. This is because Reshape Gel and Pro Polymer have different gelling mechanisms. Reshape Gel requires heat for formation, and diluting a pre-made gel might lead to instability and weakening of the gel over time.
2. Texture comparison: The textures are different, but whether one is 'better' is subjective and depends on individual preference.
3. Reducing Pro Polymer stickiness: You can reduce the sticky or film-forming feeling of Pro Polymer by adding 5-10% of oil, Propylene Glycol, or Glycerin to your formula.
4. Making Reshape Gel without a thermometer: Yes, it is possible but requires patience. When mixing Reshape Gel with water, gradually increase the heat little by little until you see that the Reshape Gel is completely dissolved. Then, stop heating. You don't need to measure the exact temperature, but observe and avoid heating too quickly or too much, as excessive heat can degrade the Reshape Gel and ruin the gel quality.
