Why did acacia gum turn my flax seed gel grey?

@Farah: I’ve used all 5 methods. My favorite is the overhead stirrer.
Given the viscosity you are starting with, I would say the sieve if you don’t have an overhead stirrer.I don’t know where you are located, but to start with this one is affordable and works very well.

@evchem2 thank you for the insights!
@Anca_Formulator - I’m in Canada. I’ve been eying these Vevor stirrers. 400 Canadian dollars gets you one with a capacity of 20L. Feels a bit too good to be true compared to how much IKA costs. I’ve promised myself to get to a formulation people would pay for before I invest in more equipment but with a toddler running around the equipment can help me iterate much faster. I wonder if anyone’s used these. Maybe I’ll start a different discussion to ask…
