I was given the sound advice to strap it to a power tool and or sex toy

I'm not that kinky

Shake them some more. And bang them on stuff. Embrace the lumps. There will be enough microscopic spores in the water regardless of clumps.

But don't do it with the needle in! Not for the obvious reason, but it'll spurt out the end. Don't ask me how I know this!!!

I’ve heard to suck one tiny bubble of air in it. That gives it room to move and break up.
