If it’s dark chocolate I dip my ball tool into cocoa, shake off the excess. Then use. Think I’ve used ball tool once. Usually just use my fingers. When you touch modelling chocolate with either your fingers or tools, it gets warm, begins to melt. When I make roses, I sometimes refrigerate for a couple of minutes in between adding each petal.
