The 6% is great! This weekend I am going to make my shea gel. With that I put 15%, and I love it. It does not stay clear with FO, turns opaque, but its worth it. Don't you just love that hydrovance! I was just talking to National Polymers yesterday about buying it buy the bulk (I think is $1.07 a pound.) Because I cannot live without it, like it better than gylcerin.
