viscous liquid

hi y'all,


i'm trying to shoot a series of images involving thick clear liquid. it should be thick enough to be able to suspend balls of sculpey and it must be non-toxic (preferably delicious).


i was thinking of using hair gel or making a very thick sugar syrup, but that might not be thick enough.


i know food stylists use stuff like this, but i don't personally know any.


any advice?


will also need models. more info to come.


thanks,
dave
