<p>Hi Pam, haven't heard from you in a while. Since I had 2 open discussions on the same topic, it was suggested that I delete one, which I did. The one we were using had the least comments, so I deleted it just today. </p>
<p>This stuff sounds an awful lot like my mold mix. I have been having real good results with it lately, both as a pour over, and as a set in. I have remelted & reused it many times. It stays pliable. It will soften if it gets wet. The frig does not hurt it,…</p>

<p>This stuff sounds an awful lot like my mold mix. I have been having real good results with it lately, both as a pour over, and as a set in. I have remelted & reused it many times. It stays pliable. It will soften if it gets wet. The frig does not hurt it, probably the best place to keep it. I am still experimenting, like you said. I have left some out, and have some in containers, & one in the frig. Will keep track of how they react, and keep posting online.

<p>And I am working on a sugar lace recipe, have not gotten it to stay pliable for more than a few days when left out. It stays very pliable if kept in a baggy. I have some that is over a month old, and still very pliable when kept from the air. It works like a mock Sugarveil, with the molds that I bought for that purpose. They have to have a very fine detailed pattern, so I have not tried it with my mold mix yet. lol</p> Yes the mold can be kept and…tag:cakeswebake.com,2013-02-17:4635016:Comment:11778992013-02-17T19:09:28.844ZSandi Newsomehttps://cakeswebake.com/profile/SandraNewsome
<p>Yes the mold can be kept and stored, just have to keep it from getting wet or damp. Although they didn't say it but I would think it might dry out if not kept in something but the manufacturers are very responsive to any questions. I melted mine down and just have the product stored in the container it came it. It took a couple tries but I am very pleased with it.

<p> Sandi thanks for the info! So it is a good product to use for a one time mold? Can the mold, once it is made be kept and stored? Are there any special instructions for storing molds? Pam</p>

<p>I have and once I got past trying to make my mold using only one container and broke down and ordered a second it worked out really well. Check out my cakes. I won first place with a breakfast feast. Used composimold to make a mold of one of my mugs for the coffee cup and a bowl for the cereal bowl and also for the silverware. I made one mold at a time used it then reused It for the second piece and so on. I also do one of a kind molds so this worked perfectly. </p>

<p>Thanks Les, I have to try that method, I've read about it, but I've never tried it. I have to admitt, I've made many molds before, but usually never reuse them except for the pearl molds, now those I have used over and over again. Just a reminder, the Composimold can be found "on-line", not sure if they carry it in the store. Thanks to everyone who took the time to respond to my question. At a later date, I'm going to try the stuff out.</p>
<p>Best Wishes!</p>

<p>Just using any old left over fondant mixed with a good dose of tylo powder cut out with a pastry cutter dust press in the item you want to make the mould for then leave overnight after removing the object, a generous dusting of cornflour and press in the new fondant remove carefully with a pin if necessary and there you go easy peasie and really cheap lol</p>

<p>Pamela, June sent me to that site that sells it via your post about it too, and it looks really cool! I haven't used it or seen it to purchase in our area, though, but I would if I can find it. We do have a Joann Fabric here and next time I am over there, I am going to make a point to see if they carry it. I would imagine that it will keep it's shape only until you heat it up to reuse it. I'm glad you posted the information. It has made me curious!</p>
