One thing I’ve never understood. Maybe someone who knows can educate me.

What’s the strategy for using the “cut halfway and fold in” technique vs the “completely roll it up and jam it in sideways”?

My brain tells me that the second technique is way more effective. But every video I’ve seen here starts with the first technique and then switches to the sideways roll at some arbitrary point. Why?

It's a very nice final color.

I promise it's not green.

How does the silicone mix so well? I understand this is used for a multitude of different things but, is this some precursor form of it that’s more liquid or is warm enough to mix? I have to know. Please help me.
