You can either heat the water up to hot (doesn't need to be boiling) and then add it to the paste, or you can add it cooler and then heat the whole kit and caboodle. I like to add it hot, see how that works and then heat it further if necessary. *Smile* Chris (list mom) http://www.alittleolfactory.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
