The viscosity of a fluid is basically a measure of how sticky it is. Water has a fairly low viscosity; things like shampoo or syrup have higher viscosities. Viscosity also depends on temperature: engine oil, for instance, is much less viscous at high temperatures than it is in a cold engine in the middle of winter.
One small packet of 7 grams will produce about 500 grams of beads once they are hydrated. Soak overnight to a ratio of one packet of beads to 50 parts water. You can add more water or pour out any extra water when the beads expand. They can also be used to water potted/garden plants and flowers.
If you order water beads online, they will come to you in little packets that almost look like seed packets. You have to let the âdehydratedâ water beads sit in water for up to 12 hours so they will reach their full growth potential.ou can also purchase them online. I purchased my colored water bead packets (shown above) from the Crystal Water Bead and in Canada you can find them online at Water Beads but if you just Google the key word âwater beadsâ I am sure you will find many other places where water beads are available.
