alginate reaction with calcium chloride

My crafted material

At first I tried to make conductive alginate bio plastic. However, alginate takes many days to dry and my layer was too thin, so at the end the material broke into pieces while I took it out from the mold. I couldn't try with the conductiveness because I lost them in the classroom...

For the second time I forgot to add salt, so it was not conductive.

Ingredients I used:

Ingredients	Amount	check
Alginate sodium	8 g
Glycerin	15 g
Water	40 ml
Orange peel	1 tablespoon
Mica	1 teaspoon
