Are impressive; looking for a formula to prepare such, the web shows to boil reduce corn syrup. Seems too simple.

Anyone knows how to prepare it ? Seen fly trap ribbons formulas, with weaker glue based on honey/sugar.

 

Stolen from somewhere... "Mix 1 qt. corn syrup mix and 1 qt. water in a pan. Bring the mixture to a boil. This will create a non drying sticky paste."

Does the boil changes the chemical stickyness or just concentrates it by reducing ? If only concentrates it, why add water to start ?

the method/instructions are very vague. It does not say to what volume to boil down to, nor to what viscosity, nor for how long to boil. One has to otherwise assume they mean to just bring to boil and stop. Tough to measure viscosity without equipment. To me, just boiling should not alter the sugar- but should increase the "stickyness".
