Breakaway glass part 1: it is a saturated solution of sugar and water, corn syrup and cream o tartar.
Step 2: add the heat! Solubility will increase!
Step 3: bring to slow boil. Keep on boiling !
If you heat too fast : EPIC FAIL!
I got to around 290 degrees and quickly and carefully removed it from the heat .
Poured the solution into a greased sheet and I left it to sit for an hour or so!!!
Success!!! So kids, next time you need a prop for a school video , try this out !! Be careful; it is REALLY solid!
