What I achieve in the old gelatin can be achieved by other methods using the new gelatin. I cannot clean up the old gelatin though to make it behave cleanly like a new one. Therefore you may have misunderstood my comment.

Even the new good gelatin allows a very very tiny change during extended melt holds of 8 hours or so. This tiny change can be damped out or eliminated by longer ripening and/or more stabilzer. I cannot think offhand of adding anything suitable to the old gelatin that would definitively clean it up. And besides, the effect may vary from batch to batch if the manufacturer is not aware of the presence of anything.

So, what I can achieve in gelatin only works in one direction, not the other. And, the solution that works in one direction, on the good gelatin with a tiny change is a very well known and simple set that can be easily solved.

So now if I've got some of this mystery active gelatin, I should be able to make it into intert gelatin, right?

Swell it with some 3% hydrogen peroxide perhaps, let it react for a bit, and then wash and dry it again?

Kirk;

Where did you buy it? (rhetorical, I know but don't need to spread the info)

Call the source, they will tell you where it came from. This will clarify it all.

OK - Hypothetically speaking then...
