Contains premeasured amounts of Water Softner, Urea, Ludigol and Sodium Alginate Thickener. Comes in two sizes with directions on the jar. The Alginate Thickener comes in a separate packet as some like it thinner and some like it thicker. Once mixed, the basic Print Base (without the Alginate) can be kept indefinitely at room temperature. After adding the Alginate thickener, it must be refrigerated and can last a month or more if it doesn't get contaminated with mold or bacteria.

Always add the thickener to the liquid while stirring briskly to avoid lumps, and remember that it will continue to thicken for a couple of hours.
