macyboutique Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 I am doing an injected bear and I want to put in a basket. I know you cannot put candy in a basket with scented candles and stuff. My question is how can I put the bear in the basket without the scent getting on the candy? Hope I made any sense here with this post. ThanxMacy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverm00n Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 If you can't put scented candles with candy, then why would a scented bear be any different?You're posting in the gallery section, you might wanna try the general section to get answers.

Scented Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 So why can't you package the bear separate from the candy? I missed this one. Like bag the bear, bag the candy then bag the basket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macyboutique Posted December 22, 2006 Author Share Posted December 22, 2006 Sorry...didn't realize I was posting in the gallery. Thanks for informing me. Thanks for the advice Scented, sometimes a person just don't think clearly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelleyBean Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 So why can't you package the bear separate from the candy? I missed this one. Like bag the bear, bag the candy then bag the basket?This is exactly what I do. I bag the bear as I would any of the bears I either dipped or injected then put the bagged bear in the basket and surround it with whatever else I am putting in the basket.

amachs03 Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 What exactly is an injected bear and how do you do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelleyBean Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 What exactly is an injected bear and how do you do it?An injected bear is a bear that has been injected with oil instead of dipped in wax and oil mixture. I went to a farming type store and got the needles used to give meds to farm animals to use for injecting. When I inject however, I dont use near as much of the oil and will make a spray and include a spray bottle of whatever oil I used in the bear. That way they can refreshen when they need to.

amachs03 Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 What part of the bear do you inject and how much FO? Does it last long? I have never heard of this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luci Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Same questions as amachs03 for me. I was looking at those eplush items but after reading the instructions, etc, I just don't think I have the desire or room for any more mess here. Would injecting be appropriate for some of those items? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Search the old board. I believe it was RobininOr that posted about these. Basically just shoot the bear up with FO. Depending on how much you use will determine its strength and usually the longetivity. Have had some still throw stink after a year, but my average is lower than that. Try it out. Test it. You put in about 1-2 oz of FO throughout the bear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would injecting be appropriate for some of those items?Where I do the injecting is in the mid section of stuffing, as well as the most full part of their arms, legs and their noses,snout area. You are basically just trying to get the oil to absorb into stuffing, and sometimes it really depends on the critter itself as to where it's done. I know I'm probably not explaining it right, if I were in person with you I could show you, sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luci Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 I have looked on a couple of websites for syringes to give this a try. Problem is, they all offer several different ones, and I don't know which syringe to get. They also come in packs of 100 mostly. Which syringe size do you use, and does anyone have a source where I could get just a couple to try? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were in a section that many different sized syringes for giving farm animals shots, mine came I think 10 to a pack, and were really inexpensive. I found one that was pretty close to what a human would use since I didnt want to make a huge hole with the needle into the critter. You may even be able to find them at pet stores, but can't be sure on that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luci Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 This is a really small town with no pet supply stores. There is a feed store, so I'll check there when they reopen. I more than likely will have to order online, though.Has anyone tried using a human syringe? Got tons of those for insulin use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can get your hands on a dollar tree critter or one about to go to teddy bear heaven, you can practice on that one, that's what I did.

Scented Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 I found mine at a vet supply place ... used mostly for other animals. I would imagine if you can get liquid in and out of it, it will work. The thing to remember is to clean it out between uses, because FO feasts on plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chauna1 Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Believe it or not I found them at Wally World in the kitchen gadgets. U have to look hard or u may miss them. They are actually for injecting meat but the do work in injecting the bears too.HTH,Chauna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they would work for a lot of the animals, but I have a few that I thought would leave a hole if I used the meat one, that's why I went for the ones at the feed store.

Luci Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 I've got a meat syringe, but I don't think that I would want to use it because of the size. I have access to the syringes to inject insulin, but the needle is really, really small and only about an inch. I think I'll give it a try on a small stuffed critter as soon as I go to my sister's to get one. If it doesn't work, I'll check the feed store here. If they don't have one, I'm sure they'll order one for me. Thanks for the replies and advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
