I mix in a plastic yoghurt or margerine container.
Consistency is a beast with this stuff.
Yes, getting the mix just right is NOT easy!

Mix it to *just* thicker than you like with the lemon juice.

Then, add the terps. I do this still in the marg container, as I think
it has to be stirred in very, very well for all the hennotannic acid
molecules to have equal access to the terps! When it's improperly
mixed, I see "marbling" in the paste 24 hours later! I think that
would cause uneven stain results.

It's better to get it too runny and add a bit more powder to thicken
it than to get it too stiff and try to add more lemon juice after the
eo's! When I stirred lemon juice into a too-thick terped mix, the
paste granulated and it was a pain in the neck to apply!
