Directions To Use
Preparation of the Alginate:
- Open the bag and transfer the alginate powder into a tightly sealed container. Retain the product batch number and expiration date by cutting them from the bag for future reference.
- Shake the container 2 or 3 times to ensure the powder is evenly distributed.
Dosing the Powder:
- Using a dosing spoon, scoop the alginate powder without compressing it. Level the powder off by passing the flat part of a spatula across the spoon, then pour it into a rubber mixing bowl.
Dosing the Water:
- For each level scoop of alginate powder, measure 1/3 of a measuring cup of water. To ensure accuracy, hold the measuring cup at eye level and fill it until the lower part of the water drop (meniscus) is aligned with the notch on the cup, indicating the correct measurement.
Mixing the Material:
- Pour the measured water into the powder.
- Begin mixing by pressing the material against the sides of the mixing bowl using a hard spatula.
- Continue mixing until an even, homogenous consistency is achieved within the manufacturer’s recommended mixing time. Once the consistency is smooth and uniform, the mixing is complete.
