27. In reality, the system presents two gel points. One is the percolation gel point of blobs, related to the existence of one cluster containing frozen blobs that percolates. The second one, which is related to the gel point of the physical system in the vessel. Since the chains are considered to be long enough, one chain passes trough many different clusters of frozen blobs. Thus, for a sufficiently cross-linked system one finds a "real" gel far below the gel point of the blobs.
