Default Boil and Tweak

Yes, tweaking is necessary after the base is boiled because the prongs on some of the bases in the mix become shriveled or curled. As a result, the base after boiling as is may fail to move. Also boiling the base helps it hold its shape after it has been tweaked. Once the base is complete it will perform.
