How fast will Veegum settle in water?

Sunday 14th June 2015

This is insight-live.com/material/1672">VeeGum T, a processed smectite clay (similar to bentonite, extremely small particle size). I have propeller-mixed enough powder into water that it has begun to gel. How long does it take for them to begin to settle? Never. This sat for a month with no visible change! That means it is colloidal.
