The suppository mixture is poured into the cavities of a closed mold.
When the suppository mixture has congealed, the excess mass is removed from
the top surface of the mold and the mold is separated into the two halves.
An efficient way to separate the mold is to remove the wing nuts or loosen
the centered screw and place the mold so that the posts rest on the table
top.
Then apply a downward pressure only on the bottom half of the mold.
A knife or spatula should not be used to pry the two halves apart. This
will damage the matching mold faces which have been accurately machined
to give a tight seal.
Suppository shells can be opened by peeling apart the two tabs at the bottom
of the shell.
