number2of7 Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Bought some of the Wilton candy molds to make some mini melts.....by the time I actually started pouring the wax from my pour pot, the little cavity was already full....I just couldn't pour slow enough...needless to say, I made a mess!I think I must be missing something.....is there perhaps a mini pouring pot designed to pour mini tarts with? Seriously, how do you guys do this? *checks for blonde roots* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arlene Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I have a multi cavity heart silicone mold and ran into the same problem. I finally used a small tomatoe sauce (or paste?) can that I squeezed a spout into. Small can...small amount of wax...worked great. (Even for a Blonde like me!)

Scented Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 It wouldn't work using a glass measuring cup? The kind with the pour spout? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

number2of7 Posted February 16, 2008 Author Share Posted February 16, 2008 Some great ideas to try....thanks! I can do complex math problems, but I can't figure out a way to get wax into a small area without the help of friends....You guys rock!! :highfive: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auntie S Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I use a coffee scoop for tiny molds and for making embeds. Works great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol M Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I use a Dixie cup to pour into embed molds and lip balm tubes. Just pinch one side to make a spout.I also used to use the little stainless steel syrup pitchers; they had them at WalMart for about $2.50. Then they stopped selling them and the ones I found at kitchen supply stores didn't have as defined of a spout, so they made a mess. That's when I started using the paper cups instead; just pour and toss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish they would bring them back....thankfully they are sooooo easy to clean and I have about 20. If you ever find them somewhere, please let me know and I'll do the same for you!!

Carol M Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I realize I said syrup pitchers, but I guess restaurants actually use them for cream; they'd be too small for much syrup:rolleyes2 Yes, they were very handy, especially for lip balm. It cools so quickly and gets too thick to pour easily. When that happened, I would set the little pitcher into a saucepan of water that I kept simmering on the stove and it would melt it back down in just a few seconds; they were much better than the paper cups in that respect.
