Would this melt a crayon? Is it good for embossing powders?

Totally great for embossing powders. It's about getting the angle right so you don't blow it all away before it melts and making sure it's warmed up. I would imagine it would melt a cray, just might take longer. FYI don't use on paper glued together. Seperates them.

I only use it for cupcake Batter, but Im sure if the filling isn't too hot, it should be fine. There is a rubber ring around the opening at the bottom, so if it's too hot it might melt it. But there's only one way to find out for sure. : )

not sure I use it to melt lead for bullet making lead melt around 350 degrees or less enamel materials will take about 6 00 to 800 degrees for the cost can't hurt to try

Hmmm...not sure. I used it in a colour photocopier. I will say that, in my research, it was a really strong cheap option for indestructible paper. Other products were way more expensive with the same properties.

Never tried on crayon - but I"d try to remove any wax residue first by icing & scraping - then I'd try the Afta.

I think it would work well but I haven't used it for paint removal. It heats up quickly and has two heat settings. Not a very good answer I know. I use it to soften resin on my sculptures before gluing and I love it.

They're made of silicon, so you can bake and craft with them and it should be just fine. I have used them to make little mini cakes in and it was fine, so I can't imagine your crayons would damage them. I have a friend who used her own set of these to make little mixed crayon legos, too, after having melted them, and they turned out great. =)

It would work great. I use it for craft beads. Get the plastic see through so you can see what's in the bottom.

Sounds like a lot of fun. However, This wand is designed to melt pre-fixed glue on the back of a rhinestone. I do not recommend this wand for use around children. It reaches a very hot temperature and can cause severe burns if it touches the skin. This wand gets as hot, if not hotter than a hot glue gun. I recently did craft projects with a group of 4-6 years old. We used double stick tape and a non-toxic craft glue for the glitter and stones. I hope this helps you for your decision. I will add some positive issues with this wand. It comes with a variety of sizes of adaptors for stone application. It has an on-off switch. The wand heats up the hot-fix stones well enough for them to adhere very well to fabrics.

I have never used it for embossing but don't know why you couldn't, I am using it for small felt parts that are difficult to blanket stitch

Yes, you can use any crayons. I used to melt my old, broken crayons in a pot when I was young to make candles and I was very happy to find the Crayola Melt 'n Mold last year for my daughter's Christmas gift. Handling a hot pot, oven or microwave is not safe for kids and it is lousy for us too so it is really good invention nowadays. I have ring, car, and plane molds and wish they have more forms.

No, it won't work for that. It's for crafts. I use it. for hours and hours on its absolute hottest setting and still have trouble carving hollow craft foam.

I use these molds to recycle crayons and don't have trouble getting the crayon out. I only have trouble with not melting the mold:)

Hmmm, not sure. Im using a dot of it on card stock to adhere a single flat back rhinestone and it works well for that. Burlap doesn't have just one area to adhere to the paper. I think it would work as long as you had something keeping it firmly pressed to the paper till it dried. (BUT i always go to hot glue for that type of project)

No, I haven't used it for metal embossing, but have used it for embossing paper such as card stock and water color paper. I didn't seem to have any problem. It could be the differences for the surface, the amount of pressure needed to emboss metal instead of paper, or the thickness of the metal that is being embossed. Also some people my just need larger tools than others. Sorry, I can't be of more help.

I can say yes to Crayola. I haven't used any other kind, but I don't see why you couldn't - basically have to keep you hands wet to mold the clay. As long as you have that type of clay, it should work.

Yes it does. We bought the Crayola Crayon melter to make crayons and also bought all the molds that go with it. They all work. It is wonderful. My 5 year old son LOVES it.
