Hi all, I have a quick question.

I'm looking for food additive information for an art project. The
goal is to use a water soluble thickener to form a large transparent
block of material.

Can anyone recommend a bulk thickening or gelling agent which would
form a stable, transparent block at room temperature?

The more economical, the better.

Thanks kindly for any help you can provide,
Allen
