How long does it take to melt? Do the parents think it is messy?

Make sure the metal tray is snapped in all the way. If it isn't making contact with the heating element, it will take forever for the crayons to melt. Once I snapped it down more, it only took one timer cycle to melt. Then pour, and wait 20-30 minutes for them to cool. Or throw in the freezer for a few

Super easy to melt. You can actually put it in a container and sit in hot water and and it will melt completely. Mango butter has to stay on a cool dry place to stay solid.

I do it 2 ways. I either wait a few minutes so I guess it's considered "slightly" melted and it comes out....Or I kind of pound it on the counter like ice cubes and it comes out.

By all means, do not dry the beads in the microwave on high for 60 seconds like the instruction on the container recommends. I did that and mine melted. I find that 30 seconds is more than sufficient.

It believe it took 2 to 3 days. If used.... To be stepped on...maybe pretty slippery. Best to sweep up an depose in a plastic bag. I used it on top of my coffee table with borders..so it wouldn't get on floor. My grand kids look forward to making a winter village even in summer. I reuse it over and over. If placed in a glass jar tightly it will stay that way for yrs. DANGEROUS FOR KIDS TO EAT.

Hey their, actually yes it will suddenly get sticky but Not melt! I would recommend to take a ZipLock bag and keep it their for the rest of your trip! Safe travels !!

Not too bad. You need to adults or three kids. It takes about 15-20 mins. It is huge!

My cheese melted pretty quickly. I used soft cheeses which melt more quickly. I also had the guests melt their cheese while I grilled shrimp and chicken on top. Everything seemed to get done at the same time.

I use it for Gigi Honey Wax and it does takes a good 1/2 hour + to start melting.

the wax melts in about 1 1/2 hour or less. I keep the dial set in the middle to maintain wax hot ready. The red light will go on when it is heating the wax. When only the green light is on its ready to use. Always check temperature before putting hands or feet. It can get very hot.

I only used Wilton candy melts and I didn't have a problem. It did take a little more time for the white and colored melts to melt than the chocolate ones. They also seem to set a little faster.

I doubt it. To be fair, I have let dishes cool from the oven about 5-10 minutes before inserting them, but I've never had even the slightest of melting occur.

It depends on your child. For my daughter, I cannot do the 2 minutes yet, she is 3yrs old & she struggles with spit, etc. My son on the other side is much better, we started the 2 minutes at age 3, close to 4 & he does great. Though, there are times where the 2 minutes feel like 5 minutes. :-)

I completely agree with the 2 previous replies. In no way does this bear any resemblance to an easy bake oven. I would strongly suggest supervision for any child under 12 yr old.

No, the product will not melt but will become a little more tacky. I have had mine for a few months now and noticed that with the change in temp. (summer to winter or from around 90f to 20f) the Sticky will become a little more brittle and a little less tacky. It seems also to pick up every bit of dust in the air, because of the tacky nature of the plastic it is made of. Still works well and holds items but a little less tacky than first purchased. Have had item a few months now. Its not expensive so I would say give it a try.

My kids (ages 13 and under - and most of the work was done by a 9 year old) had it out of the box and ready to go in less than 10 minutes! Deflating - a little longer because there are several chambers that need to be deflated but still - not long at all, maybe 15 minutes tops if you're taking your time.

Meh. I found the optimum temperature to cure this - in a reasonable time - very warm. The kind of very warm where you can still keep your fingers on it without too much discomfort. If it's too hot to keep your finger on for more than 3 seconds, your gonna melt the surrounding material. If you can control the heat gun to maintain that level of heat over a 15 to 20 minute period, then you're good. Patience is the key. The heat transfer tool?? A joke. You'd be there for a good 2 hours with it.
