Gel for EEG

Following formula: Coarse sea salt 600g, pspatious powder 720 g, Tragacanth 40 g, KBitartraat 22.4 G, Glycerol 140g, water 1400g. Tragacanth is no longer available. By what can Tragacanth be replaced and in what quantity? For the sake of use on the head, the gel should stick well during the scan, but afterwards also removable from the head hairs.

Answer

There are several possibilities like eg:   CMC or xanthan gum. A converisetabel does not exist so that it is not possible to say how much to use. I would say start with 20 g and see which is the consistency of the dough obtained. If insufficient adjust.
