You should notice the lumpy mixture turning into a creamy paint but if not, you can leave for 15 minutes to help break it down. Break down any larger pieces then add the lime/water paste and mix well. Pick up the corners of the cheesecloth and transfer the curds into the paint bucket.Rinse with cool water gently to remove any extra whey and vinegar.

Slowly pour 1 ½ cups of water into the lime and stir until you get a creamy paste.
