After add all the layers and take out the oven, you must have a nice melted plastic to smash; Take the kit bowls and press each other to squeeze the plastic to fill the space between the bowls; Equalize the balance to make an even bowl and put it straight into the bucket with water; Wait 5 minutes to demold the plastic bowl, make some finish if needed and it is ready to go!
