Alja Safe Breeze™ is measured out at a ratio of 5 parts water to 1 part Alja Safe Breeze by volume. Measure water and add to a mixing container. Once all the water is added, put Alja Safe Breeze™ into the mixing container. Alja Safe Breeze™ disperses and mixes easily in the water. The alginate thickens as it is stirred in the water to a nice smooth consistency. Once mixed, pour Breeze™ into a new clean casting container. The advantage of Alja Safe Breeze™ over other alginates is its smooth, lump free consistency that will ensure a perfect casting.
