Flowers made with modeling chocolate

Hi. I tried to use a ball tool for the first time on sum petals that I had cut out of some modelling chocolate I had made (again first time) but the ball tool just stuck to the choc and dragged it. Should I hav let it sit a while to harden 1st? Iv watched sum videos on utube and they just seem to use the ball tool straight away? Am I doing something wrong?
Many thanks

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.
