The alginate powder and tepid water are then gradually mixed together using a spatula in a figure of 8.
Care should be taken to ensure all the powder granules are incorporated.

alginate mixture during the initial mixing stage.
This is continued until a silk smooth and glossy consistency, free of air bubbles is achieved.
The silk smooth alginate mixture prior to application to the impression tray.
