Patience Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I'm curious too...maybe they're tarts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katcameback Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 maybe they smaller versions of tarts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judyvega Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I was thinking they're probably round small tarts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patience Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Yes...small round tarts...a smaller version...good answer. But what mold would you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judyvega Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Not sure - maybe he had some custom made or made them himself - it's a possibility. I'm having a dickens of a time finding anything in stores to use - guess I'll have to break down and buy some online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katcameback Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I actually have some I call Mini melts. I use a silicone ice cube tray where they are heart shaped or shaped like flowers. They are about 1 inch in diameter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patience Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I've seen them at Bed, Bath & Beyond. Do you have that store? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judyvega Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Aha - yes, that is another place I need to check out! And Linens n Things, too. Good thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katcameback Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 I had bought both of those trays a couple of years ago, and never used them for anything. I think I bought them at the grocery store. Do you think I can find them again?? No way!! And I live in the middle NoWhere, Saskatchewan, so I don't even have a Linens N Things cry: Not that my hubby minds, lol.

Patience Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 And I live in the middle NoWhere, SaskatchewanI would love to live there. Isn't that where Big Foot is from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katcameback Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Lmao! Welll...if you are referring to my hubby, then the answer is yes. But otherwise, I think the original Bigfoot is from B.C./Washington. Trust me, with the amount of snow we have gotten this year, you would get tired of it very quickly. The snow is literally as high as my back fence. I haven't seen this much snow since I was a kid. And we are expecgted to get another dumping tonight.

starlessjade Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 I have a silicone tray that makes beer-bottle-shaped ice cubes. Would that work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredron Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Dotz are small peces of scented wax shaped like a ball cut in half. Mine are 3/4" in diameter, but the ones I saw in the candle shop in Niagara falls were much smaller and looked like M&M's. I use them to use up leftover tart & Pillar wax, and my customers really like them because they melt quickly & they can mix & match easily, creating a whole new group of fragrances. I made my own molds out of copper plate, because I work in a copper mill and it's available. I get good money for them and never waste wax now. Also my customers think there is some exotic process to making them. (don't know where they get that idea) They are a bit of a pain to pour, but cool fast & simply slide out of the mold.I also use them as incentives to buying my container candles. (Buy any two container candles & pick a bag of Dotz free)Fredron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissMary Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Could a poor man's solution be just dropping some on a cold baking sheet, pouring slowly to build up instead of out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judyvega Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Could a poor man's solution be just dropping some on a cold baking sheet, pouring slowly to build up instead of out?I don't know that that would work for commercial purposes, as they would end up looking all lumpy and non-uniform - know what I mean?

kandlekrazy Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 I actually just received two molds for them. They are small round tarts and the mold looks just like something you would use in baking. It has 6 openings and is non-stick. I haven't tried to make any yet, but I think it might be fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sag_77 Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 I have 2 large "button" molds, atleast thats what the supplier called them. I think dotz would basicly be the little buttons cut in half. here is the link http://www.candlewic.com/store/Product.aspx?q=cPolyurethane,p285 if what they look like.

schmoopie Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Any one looking for silicone ice cube trays... Ikea has them for $1.99 each in all kinds of shapes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredron Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 I'm not in the mold business, but if someone REALLY REALLY wanted one, and contacted me directly, we might work something out. Fredron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
