Hi, I'm Melina and welcome to Expert Village. Today we're going to make a polymer clay bowl.
In this next step, we're going to unattach the bowl from the mold. So you want to be
really really careful when you're doing this and you want to make sure the bowl is completely
dry and completely cooled down. You don't want it to be warm, reason being, when a fima
is warm it is still very pliable and it's more likely to break. So you want to let it
cool down. Once it's completely cooled down you can take a butter knife and test around
the edges and see how stuck it is on the mold. Hopefully, if you've oiled down your mold,
it's not going to be too stuck. You can start to push through, pushing the bottom, trying
to push the mold out and sometimes it may seem like it's stuck and it may be a small
little piece at the top rim. So whenever you feel tension just go inspect the area and
see what it is. There we go. The mold is out. We have our completed polymer bowl.
