Leaving a little unmixed is superior to mixing them in! You can press them together later so now bunch up into a lump gently and put in plastic wrap to completely cover and and let rest for 1 hour min. in cool place before working. Overnight in cool place best. Can be refrigerated or frozen, but let come to cool room temp (60F-ish is perfect) before working.
