this rec ipe its geat for making paper mache proyects or just for using it as a unexpensive and docile glue

materials;
2 or 3 spoons of flour

and a little of ALUM stone about a tea spoon measure.

this little secret ingredient will keep the mixture useful for about a week and the proyects wont get  moldy.


i have been searching the traslation of "piedra alumbre" on the internet and i got

AlNH4(SO4)*12H2O

or

Potassium Alum DSI (SO4) 2 • 12H2O.


Potassium alum has been a sought after natural mineral salt for thousands of years due to its abilities to effectively contribute to water purification, pickling, tanning, medical procedures and in cosmetics as an aftershave or deodorant
