Answer

Subject: Making Toner - Water Temperature

Regarding making toner and the water temperature during mixing:

Based on the information provided, here's a breakdown:

  • Preparing the water: If you are unsure about the cleanliness of the water you will use, it is recommended to boil it first to kill germs.
  • Mixing ingredients:
    • If all your ingredients dissolve and mix well at room temperature, boiling or heating the water during mixing is not necessary. If you boiled the water in the preparation step, let it cool to room temperature before mixing.
    • If some ingredients require heat to dissolve, you can warm the water. However, boiling is usually not needed. A temperature of around 70°C is typically sufficient for dissolving heat-sensitive ingredients. Using temperatures higher than this might degrade some ingredients.
    • In summary, the need to warm the water during mixing depends on whether your specific ingredients require heat to dissolve. If they don't, warming is not necessary.
