Fun stuff! Great for chemistry demonstrations. This is the kind that makes a solid glop, not snow.

Put about 6 grams of sodium polyacrylate in a 400 mL beaker, then pour about 300 mL of water (from a decent height to facilitate mixing) into the powder. Distilled water is tops and you can use less, but tap works as well. In about a minute, you have a goo that will cling to an upside down beaker like a tween to her iPhone. Reverse the effect by adding a few grams of sodium chloride (salt) and agitating (stirring) until you see a structure change (common cold booger to watery allergy snots).

I keep a baggie in my purse when I go to bars. My friends are sick of chemistry, and really sick of solid drinks. I still think it's hilarious. Be sure to dispose of this stuff properly, i.e. not in YOUR drains. Your chemistry-hating friends' drains are fair game.

I just have to say amazing. I used more than I should have being skeptical: it kept absorbing the more liquid I put into it. Please use the right proportions so you do not waste it. Many uses for this product

Changing a toilet? I paid a plumber to come and change out in one house and saw that he used this type of polymer powder to dry up the remaining water in the tank and bowl after the final closed valve flush. Now replacing my own toilets in a new house with this trick...no water in the hallway...just scoop out the gel.
