ldeb58 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Hi I can't remember where I saw someone was talking about a lip balm tube holder. Just trying to find it and look at it. Has anybody seen one of these? Thanks ldeb;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Man Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Are you looking for the one to fill them or the one to display/sale them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScentsandMore Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 If you are talking about to hold the tubes while you are filling them up Majestic Mountain Sage has one. Here is the link: http://www.thesage.com/catalog/Equipment.html#LipBalmFillingTrayIf you are talking about to display them in at shows, here is a link:http://www.candlesandwoodcrafts.com/I noticed that Candles and Woodcrafts also have a lip balm-filling tray. Here is the link to Candles and Woodcrafts lip balm filling tray:http://www.candlesandwoodcrafts.com/newitems.html Edited to add link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmille3 Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 I bought one from another soaper and I love it!!! The "hardest" part is putting the tubes in and taking them out. When you get one, you're gonna do a happy dance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 There's a guy named Ric that sells them on Soapsaver at The Dish. They are $22. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDGM Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 I just use the $2 cylinder ice cube tray from Walmart. I push a foam peanut in the hole just far enough to let the lip balm tube go in half way then put the tube in there. Works for me and its alot cheaper than those others!

With your way you still have to use a pipette for each one.These trays listed, in the other posts above, will do 25 or more in one pour. This tray will make 25 lip balms at one time, FAST just one pour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Man Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 This is how they work, Plug in tubes and simply pour, fill and scrape excess. No mess, no waste.This is a pic of a larger tray than above but, this is what the bottom of the tray looks like when filled with lib balm tubes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Yea, but $400 - zowie! Looks grand, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDGM Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 I just pour from my small 1 cup pyrex but that holder would be great if you were needing to make alot! I hope I never need to make 250 at once! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And unless you are selling 1000 lipbalms a week, an expensive investment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CareBear Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 I think I will soon be running down to the local salon with my lip balms now that I know how easily I can fill them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmille3 Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 I'm such an enabler! But honestly, if you are even a little bit on the fence, just put it on your birthday/anniversary/holiday wish list. I absolutely love mine. I've even started making little .15 oz perfumes, bug sticks, and glitter sticks just so I can use it. I think everyone needs a lip balm sized cocoa butter stick...

Yup, I discovered that works too, I did that back in January, here is the pic I posted of what it looks like when you use it to make Lava lips.

jwahlton Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 OK, but the thing I like about the other ones is you can scrape off the excess. With these you can't do that easily right? I've got several of these!Yup, I discovered that works too, I did that back in January, here is the pic I posted of what it looks like when you use it to make Lava lips.
