The product is solid so does anyone have any tips on how they remove any to use? Spoon, popsicle stick, tongue depressor?? lol

It melts easily by rubbing fingers in circular motion on solid oil. A little goes a long way. It is not liquid lotion but it melts on skin and is easily rubbed in. I have dry skin and it works wonders for me and I don't smell like suntan lotion!

I use a spoon. I also put it in a ramekin to microwave to get it back to liquid form to use in my hair

If I only want a little, just rub your finger(s) across the top a couple times. If you need more, stick in the microwave (on defrost cycle) for 5-10 seconds.

If you let it sit out in temperatures 78 degrees Fahrenheit or higher it will liquefy and be easier to use. Then if you want it solid again, put it in the refrigerator.

It is pretty sensitive to warmth so all I have to do is run my fingers over it place in my palm and put in the desired area..

Just heat it up a little bit and then it comes out really easily. You could set it near a hot stove, put it under the microwave, or even just stick it under a lamp or hold it in your hands for a few minutes to soften it a bit and then it comes out super easy with any utensil.

I keep mine in the bathroom where it's warmer. Just rub your finger over the top and apply to skin. Or if the consistancy is still too hard then put in the microwave for a few seconds.

I use a knife and gently press on each one of the tabs/fasteners. It takes a while. It's a real pain to get off.

I used a wood tongue depressor to smooth it out some. When it dries if not smooth it can be scratchy against skin. It is not too difficult to get off skin when still tacky.

It took me a while to get that out too. I had to pry it out with the flat end of a spoon the first time. Now I just pull it straight up and it comes out every time.

Don't use the applicator - Just squeeze the Goop onto the area and spread with Popsicle stick and replace the cap. Keep tube in cool dry place

I have never had trouble removing the silicone cups from the base. They come out easily. Maybe you are getting some juice in the cup. The pops will sometimes be stuck in the molds because I fill them too full and the stick stick to the mold. I dip them in warm water for a second to release them when this happens. That solution might work for you as well if the silicone is stuck in the tray.

They come as one inseparable batch. Upon freezing, I had to spend a few minutes prying the blue top away from the mold as the sticks don't always stand straight up and down AND it's just hard to pry plastic from frozen popsicles. Then, it was difficult just getting one as you do have to run under cold water for fastest extraction (you can't just soak one mold in a cup either as they're too close). It's a messy process and I found (as long as I ate them fast enough)--a quick wrap in saran wrap or a snack bag and back in the freezer was the easiest way to save myself the dance each time I felt like having one.

I used a blow dryer, some Goo-Gone and dental floss. It took a bit of time, and required more Goo-Gone after it came off to get the glue residue off too. Not too bad though.

Haven't found an efficient way to empty the container completely. Maybe use bits of compressed bread on the back of a spoon or fork and use the bread like a squeege.

It's really no big deal...I just use a golf tee or a tongue depressor, something I can dispose of after...the material is about the consistency of caramel sauce...it comes off your skin easily with hand cleaner...great stuff, as it stays sticky over time, doesn't dry up...

The best way I have found is to use GooGone and disolve the adhesive carefully by rubbing. I use it for everything that has adhesives including price tags, buy it by the quart! It is so helpful for removing sticky things, even gum.

I have a VERY good rubber scraper...it's just a spatula but is nice and stiff with a tad of "give" to it. I find it "impossible" to get EVERYTHING out of the freezing bowl but put 97% of what I make into the freezer and have to suffer and sit and scrape out the rest and eat it....it's a dirty job but someone's got to do it! But really...just find the right scraper and do the best job you can...you should be able to get most of it out. Happy churning!

I find this mold a bit more fuss than the Norpro Ice Pop maker. It will work well however. First remove the lid. This is much easier if you have not overfilled the mold as the lid will freeze to the excess as it swelled during freezing. The other obstacle is if your sticks are frozen crooked, that will make it harder to remove the lid as well. Let the mold stand till you see frost forming at this point dip mold in warm to hot water up to the lip of the mold and hold for up to a minute. take mold out of the water and remove the pops. If your sticks are so crooked that the lid cannot come off dip in water with lid on and then all pops will pull out with the lid. Hope this helps.

Make sure you froze them long enough. And when getting them out, run under warm water for 30 seconds at a time and shimmy the popsicle out. Hope that helps!

I have a wonderful essential oil nebulizer. I put one drop (germ fighter is very strong) of germ fighter with three drops of lavender in the nebulizer and diffuse into the air at night. It helps me sleep and keeps me healthy. This is wonderful stuff.! Anybody know how to make a toothpaste from this stuff? I am thinking that would be good too!
