I had the same issues. Sometimes it can be the humidity of the room. Did you use sugarveil molds? I used it to spread it flat and thin as paper on a fondant mat and it was a sticky mess after 72 hours. I saw the other product "sugar dress", I will give it a try instead.

Lots of trial and error for this stuff.... I found that the mold cannot be very intricate if it is use as THIN a coat as possible. I tried 2 molds I had to leave them out on the counter for over a day til they dried. One was shallow and dried quickly. The other deeper and took longer than a day and 1/2. Certainly didn't work like the video!! I was able to cover the mix with Saran Wrap and continue to work with the stuff over a week and it didn't dry out. I hope this helps

When I received mine 5 months ago, I wrapped the remaining pieces in paper toweling (had about 3 or 4 packages) & put all of them in a zip lock bag. They lasted easily 3 months. (Longer than that they mold). Mine was very fresh, so that probably makes a difference. It's important to keep it dry and cool. I didn't try freezing - so I don't know if that works. Hope this helps

usually, I let it dissolve in some lukewarm water (until it 'foams-up') and then add that to the recipe... You might want to try this just to see (test)... see what happens if you do this and it does start foaming, if not your yeast is too old. I always keep it in a fridge, it should last for close to a year there, longer in a freezer.

Just make sure you eggs(if you have to rinse bird droppings off of them. Backyard chickens)are completely dry before you put them in the containers with lid on in fridge you can get some molding.

You use what you've mixed up at that time. It will store, I understand, for a few days in the refrigerator if not totally used at the time. You need to beat it again to get the air back into the mix again at that time. If you keep it longer than that, it will dry out or spoil. The package was smaller than I'd pictured, also.

I put them under hot running water for a few seconds on all sides and around where the top of the mold meets the cap. Then I firmly hold the mold while gently wiggling the top as I pull. If it doesn't release immediately (don't force it), I run the water over them again for a second or two on all sides again, and that usually works. Then I use the hot water to rinse out the mold, and it's good to go for next time. P.S. I've had mine for almost two years using this method, and have never had one break.

You can use any mold safe to use for food. You want to keep it kind of thin so it dries but experiment.

I just rinse mine out, the trick is getting it air dried quickly. It can rust in the mesh, the bottom of the crank compartment. It does work great, had holds a lot. I put the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt for a cake or cookies in the sifter and mix it all at once. Seconds and your ready to go.

Yeah, that's why they encourage you to do so outdoors.. I don't know if there's something wrong with mine, but it takes a very long time to bake the moisture out of it. I've left it in for 5-6 hours and it's still full of moisture (maybe it's a FL problem??)

Spray it on and leave it. It will dry in minutes. I only used it until it cleared up and then didn't need it again. Good luck.

Maybe you could try putting it in the freezer for a few minutes before trying to remove it. Or spray the mold with a little cooking spray before pouring the candy in. I always find that the freezer method works best for me.

You can try a mousse (sp) or a cheese cake. spray with pam so it wont stick to mold.

I guess it would depend on how much mold and how covered, I would use soap and water with a abrasive brush or sponge, then I would use disinfectant wipes and thoroughly clean it. If it still doesn't come off after doing that two or three times, I'm not sure it would be wise to use it again.

That sometimes happens when I'm at the end of a bottle. I take all the elements out and pour the rest out into a glass or bottle with stopper. The bottle is never out of the refrigerator or without water in it so I'm not sure about drying/mold. Hope this helps.

I am not certain why you have so much left over. I have put any left over into a glass jar like a Mason jar and left it over night in an oven with a pilot. It solidifies just like in the machine. If you don't have a pilot, you can heat the oven to 200 degrees. Turn the oven off and put the jar into warmed oven overnight or for 8 hours. Usually works for me. Good luck.

I have never had a problem with mold. However I always spread them out on trays until they are completely dry and back to original size before storing them.

Heat you stick it in the microwave. I like mine pretty hot so I do a minute thirty then kinda squish it up and flip it over (I fold it so the tray can rotate properly) and repeat for another minute thirty. To make it cold just put it in the freezer for really cold or the vridge for a nice less cold cold. That way it doesn't get wet. Although in the microwave, while it's very new it will release some humidity and likewise the scent will come out more with the heat.
