Molds, adjusting existing mold

Posted in: Tech Help, Tips, Tricks, & Techniques

I would like some advise on adjusting a mold I have already. I am looking for a product to change the way it is formed by closing up one of the sides.. I have a flag mold that is too thin for my purpose so I need to double the 2 and make one single one like a shell. Please suggest how I can close up one of the balls of the top of the flag pole to make it disappear.

Thank you

I also need to begin with a Rev or ACME or similar that holds at least 3-6lbs or maybe smaller.

Does someone have one for sale?

Using Coating

Posted in: Tech Help, Tips, Tricks, & Techniques

When you perfect it, may I be the first to taste..? I am getting my coating from Italy but have tried several about 15 am still not happy.

I know the real thing is the way to go, and the darker the better for me.

Thank You for you information.

Thank you so very much for helping me ... I was down hearted by the first two answers---because I "have a dream" one not from my flesh, but a real dream! I have to start with what I can afford..I will not let the dream die! Your answer gives me hope...I am very gateful that you took the time to explain in detail. Now I can gofrom your advise. I have Barry Callebaut and am working with it but I do not have the materials to melt it correctly.

Thank You for the encouragement.

I am looking for a chocolate that will stay non meltable in 70 degrees.

Does anyone know of a chocolate that does not melt so fast.

Thank You
