Pouring Scenic Water Layers for Specific Jelly Mold Details

The first colored layer of Scenic Water is carefully poured in to a copper fish mold to form a blue layer for the top of a dolls house gelatine fish.

To highlight the scale details in this fish shaped jelly mold, the darkest layer is poured first, and lined up carefully with the outline of the fins, and the mold is left for the layer to set. Once the first layer has set, the second layer is poured and so on.

Temperatures of Later Colored Layers

As the Scenic Water melts at a very low temperature, it is advisable to let the various colored layers set individually before the next layer is poured. It also helps to let the Scenic Water cool after melting until it starts to thicken before you add it on top of an already poured layer. This will help keep the new layer from remelting the one it is going in on top of.
