Diazo Mixing Instructions

Mixing in a Separate Container
(recommended method)

1. Pour half of the required water volume into a container (plastic pails, cups, etc. / confirm volumes below)
2. Place bag in vertical position and tap or shake lightly to gather the diazo at the bottom of the bag.
3. Tear or cut the top of the bag (easier to cut).
4. Open pack gently to prevent diazo from escaping.
5. Gently empty the diazo out of the pack into the container.
6. Mix / Stir until diazo is fully dissolved.
7. Pour diazo into emulsion.
8. Pour the remaining half of the water into the container to rinse out any residual diazo left in the container and pour into an emulsion.
9. Mix / Stir the emulsion until the diazo is fully dispersed (color should be even / uniform)
10. Let emulsion de-gas or filter with mesh (300 or higher) to use immediately.
