That hadn’t occurred to me… boiling frog anyone?
ETA: maybe that’s why bath bombs are so named…

Yeah, we didn’t wait 15 min. If you mix carefully, it does start to gel up really quickly. It does seem to stay warmer a bit longer (I assume less evaporative cooling?). Cooling didn’t seem to bother GirlChild much, who was more than happy to sit in a tub of tepid chunky goo until BoringNoFunDad finally said “That’s enough PruneChild, we need to clean this up!”.
It’s been a few months since we did the gellibaff experiment, and so far no drainage problems. Can’t imagine it’s good for any drain system though, so the next batch is happening in a kiddie pool outside, and the waste is going into compost for water retention in our hot/dry summer environment.

Somewhat off-topic, but it made me think about Oobleck. Which is sort of hardening a liquid, but better. I wonder if people at science fiction conventions still make hotel bathtubs full of Oobleck.
