• Water dosing : for each level scoop of powder, 1/3 of a measuring cup of  water is necessary. An ideal reading level of the water can be performed by positioning the measuring cup at eye level. When the lower part of the drop (meniscus) is tangent to the notch on the measuring cup, the dose is correct
• Pour the water* in the powder
• Start mixing by pressing the material against the sides of the mixing bowl with a hard spatula
• This procedure must be performed during the mixing time indicated by the manufacturer. Once an even consistency has been obtained, mixing is complete
