How do you prevent the big butterflies from breaking? I can't seem to manage!

What median are you using? I've used fondant and chocolate and both have worked fine. With chocolate your not going to be able to bend them of course but with fondant, after you take it out of the mold you can fold it slightly and let it dry for a day so it will stay in that position. Let it dry in something that will keep its shape like an open big book.

When using the mold, make sure that the mold is filled with fondant completely. Trim away any fondant outside the mold wait a few minutes then carefully release it from the mold. I didn't have any problems.

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.

If you are using fondant, then the easist part is to make sure that you have a small sharp tool to pull it out from the edge. It should just roll out. I hope this helps.Richard

When using fondant,I pop them out before they are hard,I haven't broken any chocolate yet. Good luck

If you use fondant, I make sure the fondant is in the mold firmly. Then place in the freezer for ten minutes. It comes out without breaking.

When I put the fondant in the mold, I really work the fondant into the mold for a few minutes to make sure I got into all the nooks and crannies. Once done with that, I put the mold in my freezer for about 5 minutes or so. To remove the fondant from the mold, I gently twist the mold to loosen the fondant and it usually comes right out without any breakage or distortion.

Had the same issue..I just used a little thicker small nail..place the higher middle piece 1st, then kine up the other middle piece and move along...I did it with my husband so it was a little easier.

Sorry to say, I gave up and moved my worms to a flower bed where there is more room for them. Where I live the weather made it hard to keep them alive!

I just left them segmented. It's too difficult to manage such a long wet noodle. Lol good luck.

We had the same issue, but the top section didn't come all the way out. It stopped just past the "stop here" line (okay, it was our fault). You could not twist it to lock or unlock it, nor pull it in or out - it was just plane stuck. My wife and I finally got at each end and pulled as hard as we could. The top part popped off and we were able to then put it back together. We have been very careful ever since to not let that happen again. We now like these poles!

We had the same issue- worked great at first, we're catching 3 at a time, but then same as you. I think the latch was sticking. Unfortunately we ended up having to get a pest control in :/

Agree, I am also facing same issue.every customer who bought the butterfly mixer is facing same issue. Why don't they come with solution and every one is suggesting to go for different brand like preethi mixer,etc....

If you want to keep them from moving, you can run a bead of spray foam around the baseline I did. I also placed insulation around it to prevent me jostling it out of place. I like to keep the top easily accessible so it can be found later.

We have had the same problem. Ruined a coffee table and hardwood floors... Writing Hasbro and maybe returning a favorite toy....UPDATE: Contacted Hasbro via live chat on their website. Gave them the numbers from inside the legs and told them the issue. Also said others mentioned it on Amazon. They are replacing for free. They sent a prepaid envelope to send him back in so they can see the issue. I also had an issue with Bumblebee not closing all the way in vehicle mode. They are sending me a new one of that one as well without me having to return it.

Linda: Sorry to hear you're having difficulty. Here are a few suggestions: 1st - Make sure the yarn is able to flow evenly so once you start to crank the winder, you don't have to stop. 2nd. Make sure the longest metal arm is in tightened down and is in a straight line to the hank of spinning yarn. 3rd. When you begin to crank, continue in the same clockwise direction, never stopping. 4th, the yarn should come off the hank at the same level as the winder, not below it and must flow smoothly. I found if I used my dominant hand to crank and my non-dominant hand to help guide the yarn from the "spinning hank", it worked better than just cranking the winder. My first attempt I had trouble with the crank, getting confused as to which direction I was spinning. Made a mess. I assume you are using something for the hank of yarn to spin on while you crank. Won't work without that. Hope this helped you. If you don't have an "umbrella" for the yarn, here's a suggestion:http://www.amazon.com/Stanwood-Needlecraft-Wooden-Umbrella-Winder/dp/B000IG1I8O/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1388088237&sr=8-2&keywords=yarn+winder

Hello, Yes you can. Just release the toggle switch at any time and the butterfly stops moving. Thanks, Speed Unlimited

recently had cluster flies. to completely kill, trap them against the wall or a large window. the "racquet" must be flat on them to prevent escape...then press the button....i made darn sure they were well fried. i took device with the remains and tapped into garbage can...have never been so happy to have this thing!

I struggled with it too (all pieces are heavy). My solution was, instead of trying to screw the poll in, I kept the poll steady and span the marble base the opposite way which snapped on pretty easy. Getting help from someone else should make it easier too. Hope this helps.

Not really sure about your situation, but, being confined to a power chair, Hoveround, I shot a little Iinvict behind my appliances and under the sink. It's like a fishing lure, the bugs found it. I hope this will help and you don't have to move a lot of stuff.

I folded over the edges about 3x and pushed the pins through it. One could do a quick stitch if you want it to be tight and clean but the lazy fold over has worked just fine. Too long might b ok as it just hits the ground and or keeps bugs from getting in. But you could probably fold as well.

I do not have the Lenox butterfly's, but I use this a lot. Check out the blog" Home is Where the Boat is" and you will see in several of her tablescape show she has used it. Particularly check out her Fairy and woodland tablescape. I have used this myself from her inspirations.
