This is normal and it doesn\u2019t mean you are doing anything wrong. For example, in a heart shape, the point at the bottom of a heart my try to stick after you have used the mold a few times.

In fact, the cooler, the faster and better they cure. Do not put them in a high humidity area as it could cause pimpling on the surface of the fizzy.<\/li>\n<li>Never cure your bath bombs in direct sunlight, high temperatures or high humidity.<\/li>\n<li>Package your bath bombs after they have cured for 48 hours. Even if they look dry on the outside, there is probably still moisture in the middle, especially on larger fizzies. Ultimately, if you package them too early it may degrade the fragrance or make it smell funky. It can also effect the composition of the fizzy by making it slightly soft.

Large round shapes are the hardest to perfect and any flat design will be easier for a beginner.<\/p>\n<h4>Have I used enough water?<\/h4>\n<p>If the mix is sandy and doesn\u2019t hold together enough to mold, it is likely you need to add a little bit of water. Be careful to just add a little at a time.<\/p>\n<h4>Have I under mixed my wet\/dry mix?<\/h4>\n<p>You can tell if you under mixed if you get warts on your bath bombs as they sit and cure.
