Tip: If the ends of the plastic start to curl... lightly press them down onto the silicone strip.

One at a time... remove the silicone strip from the griddle.Holding on to one end, position the silicone strip at a slight angle on the cylinder. 3

Slowly wrap the silicone strip around the cylinder, closely overlapping the edges as you create the spiral. 4

Securely hold on to the end of the silicone strip as you dip the cylinder into a bowl of ice cold water.

Hold under the water for a minute or two, while the plastic hardens.

Repeat the process for each ring.9
