    Cathy I just rinsed through a couple of Christmas tree "mould" type dishes that I bought in Tesco for holding nuts etc.

    If you pm me your address I will put one in the post for you to try if you like.

    Thanx

    this is why you must have to have distilled water

    i just scraped the mould off mine and added another couple of drops of oil and they were fine

    and they smell strong still,

    I think you can get distilled water in the chemist
  • Just wondered if the Christmas Tree mold worked for these or not?

    edited for spelling, lol

    Cathy ,
    I was wondering if you could also use these as candles ?

    I've got a few Gel candles at home, so do you think if you put a wick in them they would burn ok and be the same , or am i just asking a stupid question?
    ???
