slyfoxy46628 Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Help!! I would like to start making the little pies but cannot find the 5 inch pie tins anywhere. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? Also, what kind of wax do you use with the embeds? Thanks!Sheryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luci Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I began by buying the tins on ebay, and I have also bought from the classies here. I was told a while back that I should be able to get them at Walmart or the Dollar General, but none of those here carried them. I did find them at a kitchenware dealer who has a permanent setup at the flea market. However, that is too close to Myrtle Bch, and I don't like to go into the main area during tourist season. If you have a restaurant supply nearby, you might find them there. You might want to put an ISO ad in the classies here. As far as embeds, I buy mine from Laura at www.tropicalbreezecandles.com because she does a wonderful job. Also, I absolutely do not have room for any more waxes, molds, etc. here!

slyfoxy46628 Posted August 10, 2006 Author Share Posted August 10, 2006 Thanks Luci! I tried to go on the classies but it said I didn't have authorization to do that so I don't know what's up with that. What kind of wax do you use with your embeds and the pie shells? Thanks.

Luci Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I use the medium density gel. I color it a bit depending on what "type" of pie I'm doing--i.e. red for cherry and strawberry. Then, of course, scent appropriately with a gel SAFE scent. The first couple I made I got the gel from Michael's. Later I started ordering larger quantities through suppliers. I don't make embeds. I buy them.I don't know why you can't access the classies. Someone else will have to help with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlena Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Hey, Laura carries both the tins & embeds - but i just looked & cant find her tins on her site! Maybe she'll come on & help us out! You can also go to your local grocery store they may have the tins. But i get all my embeds from Laura - WONDERFUL JOB she does! Good Luck!~Carlena~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charity4candles Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Her tins are under the embed section and I think it's the first option on there...and as far as embeds go, she's your best route!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luci Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 See post #2 above. She is also a member of this board. If you are looking for something on her site that you don't see, email her. She also has some sales listed on ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BruceCarvesWax Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I need to put some on ebay for sale I guess. I bought 2 cases of them 6 years ago. We make a few pies each year, but not enough to carry a thousand of each tin on hand. lol I have 2 sizes, not sure where you measure them to get the size. If you measure the diam. inside the top lip they would be 4.25 and 5 inch tins. One is about a inch deep inside the other is about 1.5 deep.
