Re: DIY Home-made "realistic" Hides
lol its still really hot. Im cooling it now. its been about a half hour since i started cooling it. im so excited.
Re: DIY Home-made "realistic" Hides
how long should it take to completely harden?
Re: DIY Home-made "realistic" Hides
If it's still slightly soft after cooling, place it in a DRY spot for a couple days to get the remaining moisture out. If it "dents" when you push on it, you made it too thick and it should go back onto the oven on a low temp.
I had that happen to a batch and they turned out fine....there is just a little moisture that needs to dry out. :)
Re: DIY Home-made "realistic" Hides
These are so great. I might have to make a few. Thanks for the suggestion, hon.
