A couple of drops of glycerine is enough for a golf ball size of paste.
Its not rocket science mate just take a couple of spoonfuls of powder and add some washing up liquid, mixing it well to form a stiff paste.
To wet, more powder, to dry more washing liquid.

Bin the lot!!
get some xink!
I know you might be doing it to see how, but is a waste of time and money, and less mess when fishing!
