How much water and mould mix do I use?

How warm should the water be?

Understanding how to speed up setting time or slow it down.

 

Speeding up or slowing down setting time.

1. The warmer the water you use the faster it sets.

2. It also sets faster if you have a stronger ratio of mould mix. eg 1 cup mould mix to 2 cups water is stronger and will set faster than 1 cup mould mix to 4 cups of water.

3. We suggest using body temperature water.To test this put water on your wrist. (like testing a babies bottle) it shouldn't feel either warm or cold.

4. Make sure you follow the colour change while mixing. When it is light pink, pour into the bag and insert hand.

5. The time mixing will vary according to how strong your mix is and how warm your water is.

6. We suggest to mix as quickly as you can until it is like creamy light pink yoghurt then get it into the bag.
