Step-by-step guide

1. Find the right container

  • Use cold, clean tap water

  • Approx. 0.5 liters per 1,000 gel balls

  • Add the desired amount

  • Start with a small amount if in doubt.

  • Leave them in the water for 4 hours.

4. Check the size

  • They should be soft and elastic.

5. Drain excess water

  • When they are done, pour off the water.

  • Ready to use in the gel blaster!
