>>120371 greeeeaaaaat!! thank you!! XD How is it prepared? To get a syrupy texture (similar to shampoo), use about 5% methylcellulose, which is about one heaping spoonful in a coffee cup, or 2 pounds of it in a normal-sized bathtub.
Two things: Methylcellulose will only dissolve in cold water. BUT it will only dissipate in warm or hot water. This means that if you try to mix the powder in cold water without some sort of blender, you will just get globs of clear goo surrounding undissolved powder. If you put it in hot or warm water, the stuff will "dissipate" evenly, but will not be thick because the microscopic particles haven't actually dissolved.
So mix it in warm water then wait for it to cool so it can actually dissolve and thicken. After it's cool, it can take between 15 minutes to a few hours to thicken. Stir occasionally or else you will just have a container of plain water with a layer of thick goo at the bottom. Becomes crystal clear after it's thick. If it's too thick, you can easily mix more cold water. You can heat or microwave it and it'll stay thick once it's already become thick.
You can add some milk to make it murky, and/or some food coloring to make it any color you want. Add a little oatmeal or cream of wheat or some other substance to give it a true gunge texture. It can basically emulate any other substance.
