Please - help with a grow your own crystals kit!

Aaaaargh!

Kit says mix powder with warm water until it dissolves. DD and I have now been stirring fior nearly an hour and it still hasn't dissolved. The water obviously went cold so I've stood it in hot water, but it doesn't seem to make much difference.

And I really need to get on with dinner!

Does it really matter if it's not fully dissolved? Can we sling it into the other pot with the stone and hope for the best?

So much for doing something quick and mumsy!

TIA

if most of it has dissolved I'd sling it in the other pot and carry on - the solution is meant to be hypersaturated so the crystal will grow, so there's normally a bit of undissolved stuff left at the bottom.

You did use the right amount of water, didn't you?

Oh, thanks, MrsB. Yes, I'm sure we used the right amount of water. We'll just sling it on then!

I don't want dd to be disappointed. She had a grow your own herb set once with six little pots. me and my black fingers did for that...

Have bunged it on. Lots of sludge at the bottom. think I'd better look out for another kit just in case...
