GlassKnapper:
Tom Mills from PP just pours it in his mouth then applies with his tongue when hes hafting points and such. You can see him on some of his youtube videos doing this.

nugget:
Sounds real yummy.

Hillbilly:
Mix it with cold water, not warm or it will clump up  (trust me :) ) then heat it up gently. A double-boiler setup is ideal, like a small pan floating in a bigger pan of water or crock pot. You want it to stay warm, but not too hot-around 120-140 degrees or so. Mix a couple of the packets with enough water so that it's like really thin syrup. If it's too thin, add a bit more gelatin or let it sit awhile. You'll have to keep adding a bit of water from time to time as it will get thicker as it heats down.
