Question: How do I get the gel out of the bucket?
Answer: Oh...if I only knew a good way!
The best way seems to be just taking a sharp knife and hacking pieces of it out of the bucket. I've tried carving larger pieces out to then be cut into smaller pieces...I've tried just cutting small pieces. Either seems to work about equally. Heating the knife works for one cut...but then just gets gooey.
Spoons are pretty worthless.
Just sticking your hands in and tearing pieces off seems to work pretty well...and actually has a tactile nature that is kind of fun.
If anyone comes up with a really easy way to get it out of the bucket...email me!
