Spellkast Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Like Carrie, I use those little droppers (I get them from WSP.) And they work wonderfully. I have one tied to each flavor oil I have and they work wonderfully. I've been debating buying one of those trays, but I don't make 30 of the same flavor at one time and I'm not sure how that works really. If you're doing small batches, defintiely try using a pipette.

gloworm Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Not sure if this helps or not but I have read where some rubber band their tubes together. Helps them stay upright and spills might just go into another tube.Glo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerrie Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 I've got the tray from MMS too, but have yet to try it. Everyone said they are such a time saver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carol M Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 To pour, I use one of the small (about 1/2 cup) stainless steel cream pitchers from WalMart. When I got mine, they were less than $3 and have a well-shaped pointed spout for pouring, so no mess. I also like that I can just set the pitcher down in a little simmering water and heat it back up if the balm starts getting too solid to pour easily. I haven't seen these recently at my Walmart, though; they were in the kitchen gadgets section and I went a few weeks ago to get another one and they didn't have any. Maybe they still carry them at your Walmart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 i rubber band mine, then crimp the edge of a dixie cup( wax coated) and pour from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macnmyer Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 If you belong to the dish check out the soapsaver section. Ric makes a tray like MMS but it's only 15 bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gene Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 I use the rubber band to hold the tubes and the resteraunt style(with the long tip) ketchup bottles to fill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
