      Perfectly OK
      I always mix everything but the binder and ECA, then refrigerate overnight and mix those two ingredients in right before stuffing etc…

        opah73 I’d mix very lightly the night before. If you get a bunch of protein extraction and then hold it overnight that is going to be a pain in the butt to stuff. Make sure you add a decent amount of water. OR like glen said, it could be perfectly fine!

          Jonathon Yeah, that’s why I don’t add the sure gel until right before stuffing
