Remove the ball from the mold and gently place it on a clean, dry surface. Let it sit overnight to dry and harden.
Note
f the ball does not release from the mold or the mixture makes a fizzing or popping sound, place the mixture into the bowl and add more baking soda or cornstarch to reduce moisture.
