Our method for gelatin water size is as follows:

4-5 diamonds per pint or 6-7 diamonds per pint for heavier metals

1) Heat 1/2 pint of distilled water just to point steam beginning to rise. Do Not boil, boiling water will kill the proteins in the gelatin.

2) Once warmed add 4-5 diamonds (6-7 with heavier metals like silver), wait until they dissolve completely

3) Add the remaining 1/2 pint of cool distilled water to the gelatin and mix together well, and you are ready to go
