MayFlower Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Ok, i've searched and searched and can't find these anywhere.

Joni Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 hi there...are these the type of tart molds you are looking for?http://www.thecandlesource.com/catalog/i485.htmlthese are the ones I have, but I find it difficult to get the tart out without breaking a small part off the edge. I am looking for just plain round tart molds....anyone know where to find those?joni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slyfoxy46628 Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Are you letting them cure good before you try to take them out of the mold? Have you tried mold release? You should try that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joni Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 whats mold release??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraInNY Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Mold release is a spray that you use sparingly on metal molds that will let the candle release easily. (Just like pam and baking a cake)If you are waiting long enough, your tarts should release easily from these molds. You can try putting them in the freezer for 3-5 minutes and they will just fall out of the mold. HTHEdited to add: you can find these at most anyplace that sells candlemaking molds. (ie BCN, Candles & Supplies, etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MayFlower Posted September 24, 2006 Author Share Posted September 24, 2006 Don't think they are because of the indented ring in the bottom, or thats what it looks like to me anyway. Thanks for the help though.sp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eugenia Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 You can buy an additive called mold release that you melt with the wax. Mold Release Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissa1955 Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Yes, Pam works...spray one very lightly, then wipe out with paper towel and use the towel on the rest of the molds.HTHMelissa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILVCANDLES Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Bed Bath & Beyond has tart molds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Man Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 I don't use cooking sprays because...1 - Most contain alcohol2- Some contain waterBoth of these ingredients should not be mix with wax.Read the ingredients list on cooking sprays, you will find it.The easiest and cheapest thing to use is Mineral Oil in one of those cooking pump spray bottles (oil sprayer)Non aerosol sprayer produces a fine mist of oil. Fill the brushed stainless-steel canister half-full with oil, pump the cap to build up pressure, then spray. The head won't clog.BTW - You can find this type of sprayer at Wal-Mart, in the kitchen gadget isle. It may be all plastic but works the same.click pic to enlarge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Man Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 About the tart molds...You can find the flat bottom kind at Bed Bath & Beyond and Linen & Things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cissy Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Yes, Bed, Bath and Beyond has molds which look similar to Yamkee's. They also have the same molds that BCN carries, which are the ones I prefer. I haven't ordered from CandleSource, but they appear in the photo to have a smaller base diameter than BCN's and BBB's. I originally ordered the smaller base ones from Rustic Escentuals, (which appear to be the same as CandleSource) but now use BCN's type. They are much easier to clean and release tarts easier. I use a 50/50 container/votive paraffin blend. If I have time to leave them overnite, they practically fall out of the molds. They will also release by gently tapping on a flat surface up-side-down 2 to 3 hrs. after pouring. I have never used any type of mold release on these. The edges always look nice as long as I fill them as full as possible. I would think it will depend on the type of wax you are using, how easily they release.

Sharon in PA Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 We have always used PAM w/ our tart molds, works beautifully, once you let them harden and cool all the way. No freezing necessary! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 You should get tart molds that look like bon bons though. I think those would be different and fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizbizzyb Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 A bon bon tart with your company logo would be the bomb!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
