![]() This should only be attempted with large shapes, small shapes will melt and lose their shape in warm water. If the shape is sticking to the mold, you may have to dip it into warm water for a few seconds to release it. If your mold is smooth, you should be able to lift the shape out of it easily. Run a toothpick alongside the edge of the mold to release the shape from the mold.

When the mold is completely filled, allow the color base to set for several hours. If you are using very small molds, fill them as high as you can to account for the shrinkage. ![]() Remember that the color base will shrink as it dries.
