You don't need to mix it with water.I use it as is (dry) and stir it in.that way you use what you need and add a little more if you need to.

The only time you will need water is if your pregnant solution is very concentrated as SMB requires that some water is present to produce SO2 gas which is the compound that precipitates the gold.

Wiki will give you the solubility data of SMB in water.
