Getting the proportions, and temperature, right is very important. Weighing the ingredients usually works better than measuring cups, etc.

Lots of good tips in the link you posted. Thanks for the pointer.

Cheers,
Scott.

Unless you've got a hygrometer and a wet-bulb thermometer in your kitchen, and a table for converting ingredient measurements and cook time and temperature, you're getting lucky.

Although experience helps when rolling it out and you know if the dough feels too wet or too dry.

Given enough shellac, even turds can be polished.
