Hi,
How do you avoid cracks in the fimo while baking/ cooling?
Do you put the fimo in the oven while its cold then it gradually heats it up, for say 20 mins?
I make cake toppers, is this method ok?
Please help asap, many many thanks.

One thing I've found is to leave the piece in the oven until it is completely cool. I usually put the piece into a cold oven, turn it on to bake at 275 degrees for 25 minutes or so, then turn the oven off and leave the piece in the oven until it is completely cool, usually overnight. Try not to touch it or move it while it's still warm, it's very fragile at this point and cracks and breaks will happen then.
Hope this helps!
