Methocel (Methocellulose)

Some books recommend that you use this instead of Carageenan in marbling. If you live in really hot humid areas, it does keep better than Carageenan without refrigeration, and it is a little less expensive. In our experience, beginners sometimes have a more difficult time floating the paint on Methocyl - it takes practice! Gradually add 1-1.5 oz to each gallon of room temperature water while stirring, then slowly stir in one tsp of household ammonia (not the sudsy kind). Allow to rest 20 minutes, stir again, then use.
