It's both. It reacts with moisture, binding it and causing clotting.
One of these agents is called fibrinogen.
It was apparently the August 2005 issue of Pop Science. I clearly
recall that at least one of the two agents studied reacts with water.
Oh well, whatever. The UV setting resin seems more interesting
anyway. I've got a jar of some resin that does that on the shelf,
it's used in 'doming' in the sign industry.
It would be tricky getting the resin to work with a off-the-shelf
inkjet though. It has to be kept in darkness or it will start to
set up.
