The only way it would go crumbly is if you had the oils seeping out and didn't get them re-incorporated while making it. Or if it was after you've made it. Would have been left open and not sealed airtight . Unfortunately no way to fix that. Just try another batch
Also, the oils in the chocolate seem to seep out when its kneaded. Is that to be expected, and how do I deal with that? Thanks for your answers in advance!
Great. To make a coloured paste is in the description. To colour after it's made is coming up in next tutorial and how add to make the different mediums. Flower paste, modeling paste.
@@anitaakiti1813 could well be. When I'm teaching, the ladies with hot hands, are given an ice pack to place their hands on to cool them down. Also a granite or stone kitchen slab, to work on, keeps your hands and paste cooler. Keeping in mind always, its chocolate, and heat will always soften it. If u have an excess of oils, dab with cornflour, as it absorbs oils aswell.
Hi. Yes it should if you adjust the ratio of chocolate to glucose and make it a firmer paste. Next tuurial willl be how to use the paste in various mediums and what it does to them

@@anitaakiti1813 the oils only come out if you started kneading it before it fully set (overnight.)
@@goshcakes4912 thanks for the prompt response. I actually left mine for almost 48 hrs before kneading. Could it be warm hands?
