Add the weighed quantity of the chosen solvent to a mixing vessel.; Using a mechanical stirrer, stir the solvent to form a vortex.; Add required quantity of Instacoat to the center of the liquid vortex in a slow steady stream, avoiding clumping, while maintaining a vortex. Once the entire quantity of Instacoat has been added, reduce the stirrer speed to eliminate the vortex. Continue mixing for 45 minutes.
