Here is a little trick. Get a ziplock bag and put the clay in it and then add either the apple cider vinegar or the filtered water. Once you have it all in the bag then get the excess air out and then re seal the bag. Mash it around and since the clay is confined and cannot move around as much it makes it easier to mix. Please try it and come back and let us all know how it works for you if you get a chance. Hope this helps!

It can be very clumpy, I try to keep stiring and use very quickly. Do you use apple cider vinegar?

If you're not allergic to vinegar, it makes a really good mixing agent for clay.

Mix it in a blender! Always it will turn just about anything into a shake, or tastes like a shake!

It might be depending on formula type I use similac sensitive and it mixes well for the most part but it does send a clump or two down but all you really need to do is swish the bottle around a little and its perfectly done.

I found its not very easy, but doable. I vigorously shake the container first (doesn't do much to rid it of the clumps) but I think it distributes the ingredients in the container if needed. Then I measure out the amount to go in water. Since I use a pump sprayer its fairly easy to VIGOROUSLY SHAKE the pump sprayer after adding the 3&1 to the measured out water. Then I pump it to pressure and spray one plant. While moving to the next plant I shake the sprayer again. Since its never clogged the nozzle I think that pretty much works. One thing - after spraying it really does create a not-too-pleasant odor. But the stuff does work on powdery mildew which is the main problem I use it for. I found its not very easy, but doable.

It shouldn't be thin like water, you may try stirring some as a bit of a syrupy consistency is what has been the norm for each jar we've ordered. Glad you like the chocolate, we switched to w/o flavor, it just goes down easier for us.

Hi! I know it still clumps up even if you put the formula first. I think if you put the formula one at a time and not dump it on top of each other it will reduce the clumping because I notice that when I do it slowly it actually dissolves faster. But I'm kinda impatient sometimes so I just dump all the formula and just mix it vigorously until I see no more clumps. If you still see clumps then I guess just keep mixing. I know it takes a little time but it's better than shaking it for 5 minutes! LOL :)

Are you using thistle seed? If not, there's your problem.Take it down and shake it-sometimes the seed gets clumped. It should also be washed and rinsed before using.

Make sure you completly combine both parts (quickly) and pour it into or onto evenly. I mixed and poured in small batches. Have lots of stirring sticks and mixing cups!

Hey...same thing happened to me. Shake it to 'fluff up' the down. Puff it w your hand too. I did that for about 10 min. Mine ended up expanding. Mine is actually too warm for me. I have to run the heat down 4-5 degrees more than I used to.. but then I don't want to get out of bed in the am. Good luck w it...should be fine.Morrison

it's kinda slimy and I imagine the powder would bunch and not blend, It depends how you apply your powder.

Smaller chunks are better else it takes longer for it to blend, plus you have to keep stirring with larger chunks. Be sure to add liquid of some kind.

I brew a cup of herbal tea ea. night and when done I SLOWLY add 2 Tbsps of gelatin powder, stirring vigorously all the whiIe . This avoids most of the clumping problems some people have complained about. You could also use a blender to combine the gelatin with a liquid of your choice. Am using it for osteoporosis.

This is a great and affective product but there are 3 things you have to remember when using and diluting it. Shake well before using, shake well before using and..........shake well before using. It does clump when sitting so when you are ready to put it into a sprayer. Shake it a lot and pour it into the sprayer through a strainer. My sprayer has a strainer built into it. Oh, yes, did I remember to tell you to shake well before using? Shake well before using.

Mix water, or milk, or cream, etc., a little at a time until you get the right consistency. It mixes easily and does not lump. It's a good substitute when you don't have fresh, so I keep it on hand.

I have not mixed it with just water or coffee but use it more for fruit smoothies. I would use a blender to get the powder not to clump.

Lately mine has been clumpy. To me, it smells citrus and fruity. You should mix it with water. It's concentrated. You have to find what works for you... I suggest trying this for two weeks and if you don't like it or you don't like the change in your hair, try another product like Lush or the Honest Company.

I have the same issue. If I use enough to get it to stay, I have issues with the white clumps showing up. If I use a small amount, it doesn't hold well enough. Thinking of trying a different brand, or maybe a darker color that will match my 'stache better.
