As I expected. It dissolves in warm vaseline with some effort, regardless of the quantity. Caution: It requires delicate handling. When breaking it, we remove the powder little by little from the spoon, otherwise it sticks back to itself, but we do not put it in a mixture that is heated over a fire because it is flammable. The best tactic is to pour the powder into a warm base and have someone else mix it while we break it.
