For manual mixing, measure the powder out into the mixing bowl first and then add the water. This favours the incorporation of water into the powder.
Once the water has been added, start the timer to keep track of the mixing time, working time, and setting time.
Use the spatula to incorporate all the water into the powder, mixing the alginate with rapid “figure-of-8” movements.
Once an even mixture has been achieved, use the spatula to press the mixture against the inner walls of the mixing bowl to prevent the incorporation of air bubbles in the mixture.
Once the mixing time is over, use the spatula to place the alginate in the impression tray, before the end of the working time.
