I can't get use to it. My main trouble is getting the right proportions.
What is your ratio ?

The mixing ratio is nice to know but not necessary.  Put the dry glue in a
small glass jar.  Add enough water to just cover the glue.  Place a loose
cover over the jar, and heat mixture until glue is a liquid.  If it's too
thin, remove the cover and allow some moisture to escape.  If it's too
thick, add some hot water to get the desired consistency.  You'll find your
own preferences through a little practice.
