To aid in dissolution, the container can be placed in a heat bath to warm it up. After a while, the solvent will become less viscous and can be mixed more thoroughly. Be vigilant of the amount of heat used in the hot water bath - boiling water may break down some chemical compounds.

Some chemicals need the aid of an acid to dissolve in water - weak acids such as white vinegar or even citric acid are both valid options, but food grade acetic acid (vinegar) would be the most sterile way of adding an acid into the solution.
