What can be used to wet a suspension before adding water?

To wet a suspension before adding water, you can use a small amount of a compatible solvent, such as ethanol or isopropanol, depending on the nature of the suspension. This can help to reduce clumping and improve the dispersion of the particles. Alternatively, a surfactant can also be used to enhance wetting and facilitate mixing. Always ensure that the wetting agent is suitable for the specific materials involved.
