Formulating Advice
The recommended concentrations for water and oils are:
Gransil WO: 30-40%; water: 20-50%; oils: 10-20%.
The viscosity will depend on the oil compatibility with the silicone gel and the ratio of water-to-oils used. Typically, the addition of water will increase the viscosity of the final formula while oils will decrease the viscosity.
