Troubleshooting
Molds are difficult to use or release dough.
Ensure the modeling dough is fresh and pliable. Slightly moistening the inside of the mold with a tiny bit of water can sometimes help, but allow it to dry before use. Avoid pressing dough too forcefully.
Dough gets stuck in the molds.
Gently use a toothpick or a dull plastic tool to carefully pick out any lodged dough. Ensure all dough is removed after each use.
Molds appear to be damaged or cracked.
Inspect the molds for any damage. If a mold is significantly damaged, discontinue use to avoid potential hazards.
