There seems to be some interest in ballistic gelatin. Here are the basic steps of mixing it without the need of a double boiler:
1) Pick a large mixing container and some smaller, appropriate sized containers to be the molds. The molds should be at least 5"x5"x12"; "breadbox" sized containers.
2) For each pound of gelatin powder, use one gallon and ten ounces of cold water
3) Put the cold water in the mixing container.
4) Pour the gelatin into the water in the mixing container.
5) Gently stir.
6) Let it sit in the refrigerator for two hours.
7) Run some hot water in your bath tub. Stick a thermometer in it and keep the temperature between 95F and 100F.
8) Place the gelatin filled mixing container in the warm water filled bath tub and gently stir the gelatin.
9) Pour the gelatin into the molds.
10) Stick the molds in your refrigerator for two or three days.
11) You can calibrate it with a BB if you like, but it's not necessary for fun.
12) Now just serve and shoot!
