LorAnn Oils Gum Tragacanth - 2.7 oz

This works really well in holding floater lower dentures. No need to use chemical non food commercial denture applications when you make your own a non toxic item. Even though this is a small container, a small amount goes a long way.

Good stuff, use it for my denture adhesive with other items, expensive tho for little bottle

using as a plant based binder

Good

This stuff is great for using as a cigar rolling glue. The best ratio I found is using 1 part gum to 6 parts water. Mix it up, put in microwave for 20 seconds or so and mix some more. Put in fridge overnight and presto, the best cigar rolling glue you’ll ever experience!

The packaging had a poor seal on it, there was powder outside of the packaging when I twisted the cap off. It had a foam seal on it but it wasn't even properly attached. So clearly this wasn't properly sealed and why it had an off smell when I mixed with water.I mixed with distilled water, used about 3/4 tsp of the product the smell was like grain or oats that have gone off, kind of rancid. This product is supposed to be odorless, the reason it's used in products like candy making and even used as cigar glue. I wasn't satisfied with this product at all. I read that this can go bad so you're supposed to refrigerate it but it smells bad from the beginning, so it's either a bad product from the start or I got a bad batch that was poorly sealed.Thumbs down, ZERO Stars

Gum tragacanth is a wonderfully versatile botanical product and here's one bit of evidence. The gum tragacanth I purchased from LorAnn Oils worked superbly when I used it to create an adhesive to affix microfossils to microscope slides. A roughly 1% solution creates a water soluble glue that holds the microfossils, but releases them quickly when touched with a wet brush. This isn't something new; using gum tragacanth in this fashion dates back to the 19th century.

I make my own denture adhesive with this, and powdered karaya gum; 6 parts tragacanth powder, 2 parts karaya powder, and a dash of peppermint oil. Better than anything I can buy, and much, much cheaper. No 'denture adhesive taste'. No zinc. Perfect!
