For a vegetarian option could you try agar gel? Your local microbiology lab will have lots, and it’s probably cheaper than hair gel.

Subject: Re: gelatine for deformation modelling
Hi Tim,
for student practicals we sometimes use different hair-gel types which are cheap and plentiful in drug stores and come in different colours and smells (:-)
kind regards,
Janos

Hi Tim
you may check
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tecto.2009.03.012
for gelatine rheology.
The viscosity is controlled mainly by the concentration.
Best is to look for a company in your home country, there shall be plenty options.
Cheers, matias

Hi all,
I am looking for gelatin for deformation modelling purposes, preferably gelatin with different viscosities.
Does anyone know of companies providing such gelatin?
Many thanks in advance!
Best wishes,
Tim
