Making 'GEL' from Poly resin

[StefanIlarda]

I've read somewhere that a 'GEL' like substance can be made of 95% mineral oil and 5% polymer resin. This resin is a powder/crystal that, when mixed with the mineral oil, transforms it to a more 'solid state'.

This final 'solid state' is then heat melted & end prod. resembles 'transparent soap' or 'solid gel'.

 

Can somebody pls. elaborate on this reaction between the 2 ingredients - is there heating required or adding of other ingredients etc,etc..
