    The first one looks like it has the properties of honey.

    Im not sure why you need to create plastic in the first place though…

    There are many barriers that you could use instead of making a plastic, such as wood, paper, metal, glass, clay, wax or latex/sap. That first one you made reminds me a lot of latex, and natural latex is biodegradable. If you are trying to create something to that retains moisture in plants, simply covering it in a layer or two burlap should work well. If it is due to winter, id say it might be time to learn to cut glass, and weld, so you can build yourself a greenhouse. A simple 72″ x 36″ x 36 green house shouldnt be all that hard or expensive to make, and you probably could do it all with precut glass panels. A stick welder isnt all that expensive either, you can get one for about 50-100 bucks, then you need the eyewear and gloves.

    If youre going for preservation, pickling, fermentation, canning, jarring or curing is usually how you would go.

    I think about the only plastic containers that you actually need in your house are probably for chemicals, such as bleach, and acids, but those things already come in the containers they are to be stored in.

      If most had to choose between cooking a few items or getting a stick welder……

    • @crashzone6600 says:

      @KeepOnGrowin  true, it doesn’t have to be a stick welder either. If I wanted to do it for cheap, then I could do it with junk and superglue.

      Most TVs for instance have a clear layer of plastic which is probably adhered to a layer of glass. That plastic can be removed and used in place of glass. Seeing as these often end up on the side of the road, it would be rather easy to repurpose one to become a green house, especially since you yourself alreadt have a heat gun to melt the adhesive.

      Then all you would need to do is build a simple frame from scrap even one made from the same frame of the TV you got the panel from.

      Or you could splurge a bit and build a wood frame, that way you could screw the panel to it.
