Why am I having trouble melting my colored melting wafers?

Why am I having trouble melting my colored melting wafers?

I melt my light green and blue melting wafers in the microwave in the same kind of squeeze tubes I use for my milk and dark chocolate wafers.

I never have a problem melting the milk and dark chocolate wafers but the colored wafers clump and clog the nozzles leaving me frustrated and unable to complete projects...

...I am starting a business and am desperate to figure out how to correct this problem. I have even tried adding a bit of vegetable oil to thin out the melted wafers after they are clumping but no luck thus far.

PLEASE HELP!

Hi Janice,

Is there any chance that you had some moisture in your squeeze tubes that have caused your colored melts to seize? That's usually the culprit.


I don't know of any reason why colored melts would act differently than your regular chocolate wafers.


I know some people like to use paramount crystals (from Candyland Crafts) to help make their chocolate wafers melt more smoother, thinner, and creamier.


Is anyone else having this same difficulty? Do you have a solution for Janice?

Thanks,
Angie
