Can use any crayons? Can i use molds in oven or microwave instead of buying the melt and mold? I cant find candy car molds to do this with.

You can use any crayons you might just have to melt them longer. I would NOT use the molds in the oven. Not sure about microwave.

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.

I have not tried melting wax in the microwave, I'm not sure if it works, or damages the wax. Sorry, not sure if that would work.

I purchased this mold with the Crayola Crayon Maker for my four year old grandson for this Christmas. I fully expect them to be compatible and also plan to purchase the Planes mold.

This will definitely melt in the oven. All I can think of is using it for icecream or something... But with most everything you'd probably have to cut the mold away...

Heating, pouring, jelling took about an hour as I recall. Could heat and fill molds and then eat cake before unmolding. Might need a few rounds to let each kid have a turn. This could be accomplished using microwave/extra molds.

Not sure but I would think so. Silicone is oven-safe so melted crayon should be no problem. They should pop out easily after they have cooled.

Its in a plastic container that may not hold up in the oven. But maybe in a pot on the stove? It takes a while for the wax to melt in my low watt microwave but it is probably possible on the stove. It would be a pain though.

Hello, I use the inks for cake pops made with candy melts...I bought the black ones and also a pack o colored ones from a different vendor, I had no problem with the black ink that came in the colored pack...Also, for me to test and make sure it was not the candy melt, I always test in a white paper... none of those 2 pens wrote on the white paper, they were completely dried...

Yes, i melted chocolate chips and used this mold. The mold worked great! You can't tell in the picture, but they even have ridges... very funny! I recommend using better chocolate so they don't melt in your hand.

Sorry I can't answer the question as I am not familiar with The Crayon Factory. We only have the Melt N Mold.

Don't try. Ive used both and Both form with heat so even if they don't fuse there will be serious deformation bordering on pointless. Instant mold is great for epoxy putty(I use it for gunpla parts, duping custom Lego elements, replicating broken items(etc.)) and the occasional resin cast if its simple and low detail. Sorry for going off topic. I wouldn't recommend it.

You use chocolate (candy melts). Fill one set of shells with melted chocolate & let them freeze/harden, take them out of the mold, fill another set of shells with melted chocolate then place the flat end of the hard shells you made earlier on top of the fresh/melted shells. Freeze until they are hard & pop them out. If that doesn't work... make two sets of shells & simply "glue" them together with melted chocolate. When they are done you can also brush on some pearl dust to give them shine or mix white & dark chocolate together if you want the brown/white swirled look. Very easy to do. I've made these several times for cakes. You use chocolate (candy melts).

Use good quality chalk. I believe our grandchildren use Crayola Chalk. No I do not work for the Crayola company

Just like anything plastic use caution when heating in a microwave. I have used them in the microwave many times. Again use caution as plastic weakens when heated and could melt if in too long.

If you mean to use the mold for chocolate, you have to add little amount of shortining to chocolate while melting. But if you use it for fondant or sugar paste, it won't break.
