Fourthly.
Having
laid
the
two
halves
of
the
mould
so
that
there
can
be
no
mistake
in
fitting
the
one
in
its
exact
place
quickly
on
the
other,
pour
from
the
saucepan
into
one
of
the
half
moulds
nearly
as
much
wax
as
will
fill
the
hollow
made
by
the
model
(egg),
quickly
fit
the
other
half
on
the
top
of
it,
squeeze
the
two
pieces
tightly
together
in
the
hand,
and
still
holding
them
thus,
turn
them
over
in
every
possible
position,
so
that
the
wax
which
is
slowly
congealing
in
the
internal
hollow
of
the
mould
may
be
of
equal
thickness
in
all
parts.
Having
continued
this
process
at
least
two
minutes,
the
hands
(still
holding
and
turning
the
mould)
may
be
immersed
in
cold
water
to
accelerate
the
cooling
process.
The
perfect
congealment
of
the
wax
may
be
known
after
a
little
experience
by
the
absence
of
the
sound
of
fluid
on
shaking
the
mould.
Fifthly.
As
soon
as
the
mould
is
completely
cooled,
the
halves
may
be
separated
carefully,
the
upper
being
lifted
straight
up
from
the
under,
and
if
the
operation
has
been
properly
managed,
a
waxen
egg
will
be
turned
out
of
the
mould.
Lastly.
The
egg
will
only
require
trimming,
that
is,
removing
the
ridge
which
marks
the
line
at
which
the
halves
of
the
mould
joined,
and
polishing
out
the
scratches
or
inequalities
left
by
the
knife
with
a
piece
of
soft
rag,
wet
with
spirits
of
turpentine
or
spirits
of
wine.
