How can we remove vinegar smell from bioplastic?

This is the type of material I have been researching out to make the body for a human powered car concept I have been working on. I liked the application of this on the mesh. I would like to try it on carbon fiber if it can go inflexible (stiff) enough.
Three years and over 100.000 views and people are still interested. Nice work. Nice work indeed.

How many days should I wait for it to dry?

@jomie1000 This is tough, because when you are producing plastic using this "cooking at home" method, corn starch tends to produce a very WEAK plastic. So it is difficult to do anything but films. (The "corn starch utensils" that you see in the store are manufactured using a different process that requires special equipment, so you can't do it at home).

@downhillflyer2014 The more plasticizer you use (that's the glycerol) the more pliable the end result will be. You can create hard, inflexible plastic by drastically reducing the amount of glycerine you use.

@mrsoneji You can try putting it in a dry, cool place. Alternately, some people have reported good results gently blowing it with a hairdryer from time to time. But overall, you do have to be patient. Depending on the formulation you use and how thick your end result it, it can take up to several days to dry.

@trey54980 Well, no. "Biodegradable" doesn't mean it will dissolve. It means that over time it will be broken down by microbes, when exposed to air, sun, and the environment. So that takes some time.
