Hi there :) I like to think I’m kind of an expert with lace mediums. I have experimented with them ALL & my two favorite’s are Cake Lace & Sugar Dress which are the same product. For me I hate to “bake” lace – I prefer this method… Follow directions to mix the product and such but here’s where I think it makes a difference; apply a thin coat & wait an hour and then apply another thin coat & leave to sit overnight!!! It’s very important to do two thin coats an hour apart & making it the day before so it can dry naturally overnight makes a big difference IMHO ;-) It will come off of the mold like butter!! HTH & GL!!! xx
