    This is the thread the last time this question came up. 

    http://www.ganoksin.com/orchid/archive/200602/msg01086.htm 

    There was one response which followed that I do not see in the
    thread, and that was why pour the mix into water after stirring, the
    answer was to improve the consistency of the mix when remelted. I was
    quit keen on this thread as I have not done this and found it very
    interesting. I can not give credit to who made the above comment, but
    as I recall it was one of the more senior (knowledge wise) posters on
    this forum. 

    Anyway search the archives you may find it, the thread and all the
    responses were very educational.
