I am using these to melt down for party favors. Was it easy to peel the paper off? And do you have melting recommendations?

They were very cheap crayons. I'm a teacher and they disintegrated as the kids colored with them

After I saw your question, I tried to peel the paper off one of the crayons and it peeled off very easily. Another tip I always use is to soak the crayons in water before you try to peel the paper off. The paper comes right off when it's wet.

I found the paper kind of hard to peel, especially on certain colors. They melted well, I broke them up and put them in silicone molds at about 250 for 10 minutes, just keep an eye on them.

I too used them to melt down. It was not easy to peel the paper off at all, it took a really long time. However once I had them peeled they melted nicely.

I didn't peel the paper off because I use them as regular crayons. but as far as I can see if they're the same as regular crayon brand. When I did make melted ones in the past I just made sure to chop them pretty small

You can any heat to melt plastics...that said be aware that you are causing toxic fumes to be emitted when you do it. If the sheeting is to thin it will likely wither away when heated up, but if thicker, yu could fuse it. Do it outside and consider a mask t protect from vapors.

I had no problems. Just be careful if they are peel and stick. It might melt the glue.

I heat water in them in the microwave all of the time and never have any problems. I even rinse and reuse the cups - and then heat water in them in the microwave. I usually stop at 4 rounds of this, but they don't lose integrity at all, and I don't notice any melting wax or burned paper.

The bond is great on paper. I haven't had any peeling corners after several years. I honestly have only used the glue pen on paper items, pictures, die cuts, acrylic gem stones, fabric flowers, that type of stuff. I don't know what your trying to glue together but hot glue really shouldn't be used on paper, it is far too hot and will leave a lump where it is applied. The glue pen is also acid free so it won't cause browning and the paper wont break down over time. Hot glue can crack over time and break apart. If you can provide a bit more information about your project and what your trying to glue together, I can try to help with what adhesive you should use.

I put them on my bathroom wall with wallpaper glue. I haven't seen any peeling yet??? It's been six months. I put a glossy craft application on top like Mod Podge. I'm sure you could use Liquid Nails that dries clear for other types of surfaces. Make sure you get the type for multi-purposes that dries clear

I have had no problems peeling mine off from the backing sheet. I ordered them almost 2 years ago and just came back to order more!

I forgot to mention, I did use contact paper on my counters and peeled it off with no problem, unless your counters are painted. :-)

I believe I read in reviews that you can make jello with these molds and I'm not sure if I read that they had trouble getting them out of the mold perhaps? I never used them for jello. They were great for candy melts (for party favors) and ice (for the punch).

You can apply heat on the low setting . no problem. It won't melt at all.. And, NO gooey plastic mess, either!

I don't know what the melt method is. Sorry I can't be of more help to you. Good luck.

I opened the plastic and placed it paper-side up on my dining room table. Then I lifted the paper, allowing the heavier plastic to pull the two layers apart. They separated easily, and I folded the paper as it became free. Hope that helps.

I did use copy paper and was fine for awhile, and then the light just was in one place, Hubby took me to Hobby Lobby and brought me an adult one with 40% coupon and so, it lasted awhile, But if you are going to be using it a lot like I was invest in a upgraded one from the art dept. If for a child It will be good for awhile. I Did use copy paper, tried cardstock that was to heavy. Good Luck on which ever you decide.

I found them to peel off very easily. There was a seam on the back but I also used one sheet to make multiple stickers and I was able to peel off the back very easily without a seam.

As long as you heat it up, it will come off with mild effort. Being that it is plastic based, it will not tear like paper. Heat both reinforces the moulding of the covering but also loosens the adhesive which would make removing it easier if that is the desired effect.

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
