CHAPTER 3: MATERIALS AND METHODS
METHODOLOGY
This chapter presents research design which the mode, the subject of the study which
explains further the main subject, the research materials and equipment used in this study to
gather the necessary data, the research procedure that shows the processes being in the research,
and the statistical treatment which presents the method to be used in order to present the data
being gathered.
4.1 RESEARCH DESIGN
This research study employs a quantitative research design, and we chose this method
because we believe it is the most effective method for gathering research from the large masses
of society and receiving feedback in that the make-shift glue method was just as effective as the
sold glue brands, with the ingredients being accessible to as many people as possible, and it is
eco-friendly, as we had hoped. This research study has also used as experimental design due to
the independent variable and dependent variable, the independent variable being the Major
Branded Glue products, and Homemade Glue using the milk wastes, and used materials as the
dependent variable in this case, as the homemade glue was the result of the milk wastes and used
materials used to make glue.
4.2 MATERIALS
Materials
 1 cup (240 mL) milk
 1 tablespoon (15 mL) white vinegar
 1 tablespoon (15 g) baking soda
 2 tablespoons (30 mL) water

Equipment
 Stove
 Saucepan
 Measuring cups and spoons
 Spatula/Ladle
 Strainer
 Container
4.4 PROCEDURE
Step 1: Heat 1 cup (240 mL) of milk over medium heat. Pour 1 cup (240 mL) of milk
into a saucepan, then place the saucepan on the stove. Turn the stove on to medium heat
and wait until the milk turns warm.
 Most people recommend skim milk, but you can try other types of milk as well.
 You must use dairy milk for this. Non-dairy milk, such as rice or soy, will not
work.
Step 2: Stir in 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of white vinegar. It does not matter whether or not
the vinegar is distilled. The purpose of the vinegar is to help separate the curds from the
whey.
Step 3: Cook the solution over low to medium heat until lumps form. Reduce the heat
to low, then let the solution heat up, stirring often. After about 3 minutes, you should start
seeing solid lumps form. These lumps are the curds.
 If it is taking too long for the lumps or curds to form, turn the heat up to medium.
Step 4: Pour the solution through a strainer. Set a strainer over a glass, mug, or bowl.
Take the saucepan off the stove and pour the solution through the strainer. Keep the
lumpy curds caught in the strainer, and discard the liquid whey that's in the glass, mug, or
bowl.
 If you don't have a strainer, pour the solution through a cheesecloth or a coffee
filter.
 Press the curds down with a paper towel to help further soak up any whey.
Step 5: Mix the curds with 1 tablespoon (15 grams) of baking soda and 2
tablespoons (30 mL) of water. Transfer the curds back into the saucepan. Add 1
tablespoon (15 grams) of baking soda and 2 tablespoons (30 mL) of water. Stir
everything together with a spatula or ladle until the texture is consistent.
 If the mixture is spread so thinly across the bottom of the saucepan that you can
see the metal, transfer it into an even smaller pan.
 Don't use baking powder. It's not the same thing.
 The baking soda will help turn the mixture sticky, while the water will help bind it
together and make it more glue-like.
Step 6: Heat the mixture over medium heat until it starts to bubble. Set the saucepan
back on the stove and turn the heat up to medium. Cook the mixture until it starts to
bubble, then turn the stove off. This will take about 1 to 2 minutes.
 If the glue is still too thin, add some more baking soda and water.
Step 7: Let the mixture cool before you use it as glue. Turn the stove off and set the
saucepan aside. Wait until the mixture cools down to about room temperature. Once it
has cooled, you can store it in a container and apply it with a paintbrush.
 Use the glue within 24 hours and discard the rest. It does not contain any
preservatives, so it will spoil within 24 hours at room temperature.
 You may be able to keep the glue in the fridge for a few days but put it into a jar
first.
