I tried this but it did not hold the ball shape, just turned into gelatinous clumps in the alginate bath. What went wrong?
@Cheflarkin Each sachet of our alginate weighs 2 grams, i.e. approx 0.07 oz.
Under the additives it calls for 1 sachet of Sodium alginate. Is that a quarter ounce in weight? Thx
