I use 3 de-potting tools:
- Disney Minnie Mouse Mug Warmer, you can find it on Amazon, highly recommend!
- Knife, just to make sure the edge of the tip is very thin
- A piece of paper
How I do it:
- After mug warmer is hot enough, add a piece of paper on top of the mug warmer to prevent plastic meltdown to the mug warmer
- then place the powder product on top of the paper
- wait a minute or two
- take the product off the mug warmer, use the knife to test to see if the metal pan is loose enough
- if it’s hard to take the pan out, put it back to warmer, wait a bit longer
- then try to remove the metal pan from the container gently
- you can use rubbing alcohol or makeup remover to remove the glue residue. But often time I use my nails or the knife to scrape it off.
- if the pan is aluminum, then thin magnet tape is needed.
Take a look youtuber MissJessicaHarlow’s video. We are de-potting in a similar way but she is using a flat iron!
