I know JR Sons sells a thickener, Kaatz bros sell a thickener... MTP has petro, then of course things like agar agar and so on.. Does anyone have any exp with the thickeners sold by suppliers? did they work well with glycerin? thanks Last edited by KYBOY; 02/12/24 10:35 PM. Deep in the heart of Appalachia....

Heat it up first so its thin as it mixes with the glycerin better. Still might get a bit of separation but thats all I have for ya. hope it helps.

Thing is some of them work fantastic with water bases but not so well with oil bases.. Just gonna have to try and see Deep in the heart of Appalachia....
