Cotton-Candy-Making Procedures
Practice makes perfect!
1. Moisten the inside of the floss pan with a clean, damp cloth so floss will adhere to the pan
2. Note the direction of the floss as it is spun off the floss head
3. Adjust floaters (on top of the spinner head) - up for more lift, down for less lift
4. Hold the cone at the pointed end between two fingers and thumb
5. Break into the web of floss with a light flicking motion
6. Lift up the cone with a ring of floss attached and wind the floss onto the cone
7. Brush cone with clean, damp sponge so floss does not adhere to cone
8. Roll floss on outside of pan only
9. To make a larger web, turn the ring of floss onto the cone in a "figure-8" pattern
