I prepare it at the Laboratory level, so I can't leave it at room temperature for 3 days. Use a drying oven at 35°C. The bioplastic wrinkles and becomes very thin. I don't know what to do to improve the appearance. Please help me@@giestas

Depending on humidity levels where you live, it might get dry in 3 days. I haven't tried the oven, but I'm guessing it'll introduce bubbles in the material.

1- pectin makes it easier to handle, but its difficult to show the difference on video. You can make the recipe without pectin if need be. 2- if you use agar you'll get a nice bioplastic also, but the sealing method might not work. I have to make some more tests on that myself.
