I was about to cover a foam ball with Modeling Chocolate....I thought I had piping Gel as glue....but i think I tossed it! Do you have any suggestions on what i can use? I was thinking melted chocolate... but i fear thats going to dry too fast before I can do the covering.
Any help is appreciated!
You probably don't need anything if you've kneaded your modeling chocolate for a bit.
If you do feel that you need something, shortening or a bit of H2O will work fine.

Thanks... Any chance you can confirm my MC is ok... made some earlier... havent made white in a loooong time... i have not needed it yet since pouring it out too cool.... it looks/ feels a little grainy... and its really oily... think its ok?
Has it rested at room temp for a day or so? What brand of white choco did you use? I used Ghirardelli once and it was a grainy, oily mess. I had to chuck it.
You can try to blot some of the oil w/ a paper towel, but I don't personally have a cure for graininess. I've had chunks in some, re-melted it, and let it sit again and it came out great.

I used candy melts...prolly not the best choice i have some nestles on hand i can try that.
I really appreciate your help.
Candy melts can be finicky.
I think the Nestle's is a good idea. I like the results I get when I use it.
Hope it works out for you.
I'm hitting the sack--up early to work on cakes.....

Well I tried using the original MC I made, figured why not give it a shot first...once i kneaded it it seemed to help. Got the ball covered.... now lets see if it holds. *fingerscrossed*
Being that its not being eaten...it should be ok... but I would defiantly redo it if it were going on something edible. Either way I have learned my lesson.... no more Candy melts!
Thanks again for your help. I havent used MC is a long time... got frustrated make it a while back since it was never consistant enough for me It is fun medium to mold with though
LOL Yeah my idea was to get up early to work on cakes... well im up early....oh that's right... I have not gone to bed yet! Guess I should eh?
Night! ...or Morning! as the case may be!
