ladysj Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 For a 4" diameter mold would I order the 3" or 2" insert for this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wick'n'Wax Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 I can't give you the 'proper' answer but if its any help, I did mine with a 4 inch t-bag cannister and a 3 inch 'gravy carton' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious about this and where I could find a tea bag cannister that could be used for wax. I figured they should be an inch smaller than the mold.

Wick'n'Wax Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 hiya the gravy carton is just a round container that gravy granules come in. I popped the bottom out so it was a tube.My t-bag cannister is just a stainless steel cannister that was appropriate at the time although hubby didn't agree with me lolol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladysj Posted March 12, 2007 Author Share Posted March 12, 2007 Cool thanks I never thought of using a stainless steel canister although I don't have one of those Where would I find the gravy carton at in the grocery store? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wick'n'Wax Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 I'm having to use whats at hand at the moment for moulds, nothings save in my kitchen.Hubby ran in and grabbed a pan from me the other day, shouting we need it for vegetables lol.Yep, gravy is from the grocery store. You know, I've never wondered about that, do you use gravy much in america?We have it on everything here it's only made of thick card, but it did the job. Any thing that size should do, thats tube shaped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donita Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 I use different sizes of inserts.....depending on what I am embedding....if I have large sea shells for example then I need a lot of room....so I use a smaller insert. If I just want some petals then all you need is 1/2" or even less.....just depends. I have had to have special inserts made for me......I also cut plastic bottles up....cut off the top and bottom for a round mold. You can use the round inserts in square molds too.....depending on what you are trying to do. I have cut oval shaped bottles for oval molds too. Then I got tired of that and had them made for me. I think that experimenting is half the fun of it. I love a challenge.....up to a point (smile).....Donita Louise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 I'd go a 3" insert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
