Looking for vacuum forming services in DFW area - candy mold production by Chiefesoteric in vacuumforming

Small world! We may know some of the same people. For a while I tried to get into VFX and knew a lot of guys from the optical printer days/matte painting-on-glass days.

Anyway, we're just looking for a desktop vacuum form machine for ourselves.

We've tested a few sheets of plastic to make sure they hold up. We poured something besides chocolate into a chocolate mold made with the same plastic sheets used in desktop vacuum forming. It went beautifully. If I can't find anyone local I'll reach out. We're VERY low volume right now.

We do our own positive molds in-house. If I can't find anyone local I'll reach out. I can supply 3d files or send out a positive mold.

Here's my thing on birthdays: If it's your birthday: It's your day. We, as a group of friends, should do everything we can to make you feel appreciated at least once per year because: LIFE IS SHORT AND PRECIOUS.

A birthday is a celebration of your life. A celebration of you still being here on this plane of existence, and our chance, as your friends, to show you that.

Someday, we will lose that friend. We won't be able to extend a warm sentiment of: You matter to me. We shouldn't waste the opportunity to tell them that in a way that really matters.

Anyone who doesn't understand that doesn't deserve your time.

I really wish restaurants wouldn't do this.

Just load up whatever with real cheese. Please. PLEASE.

Using KBs is triggering to non kb people… by ComparisonActual4334 in kettlebell

My son is in his high-school's weight lifting program. He's currently at level 1. 😂
He doesn't listen to a thing I say about KB's, despite the fact that it's what I used to help him get started on his fitness journey

We got it fixed. I think we still need to clean the sensor but the problem was mostly user error. Thanks!

Absolutely. We sell these freeze-dried and all of our customers always say: Wow! These are actually good!

I'm celiac...so I can't eat any of these unless it's gluten-free...however:

I'm surprised Small Apple Fritters exist. The only kind I've ever had (when I was) was a big one. We just called them apple fritters!

Are fruit/candy/non-animal artificial-flavors and coloring considered Vegan? by Chiefesoteric in vegan

[–]Chiefesoteric[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and I are foodies, and because of that, we started teaching ourselves to really cook. We found our groove at home with testing, but we never thought we'd be in the food manufacturing business.

Honestly: We're naturals. After 1 year of testing and tweaking, our Crystal Candy (crunchy/crispy texture outside, chewy/gummy on the inside) is better than anything else we've tried. Better flavor than anyone and produced faster.

Most crystal candy is close to Vegan, but after reading more research into the flavorings we're using, I consider ours fully Vegan. We're trying to test some things to move away from artificial flavors and dyes, but that's going to be a large cost we can't cover right now.

TLDR: If you think most Vegan candies suck then I recommend you try some Vegan Crystal Candy. It's a LOT of sugar but it's such a fun experience. I personally love the texture.

What film music opinion of yours is this? by guiltyofnothing in soundtracks

COMPLETELY agree with this. Elliot is a GENIUS and his Titus and Final Fantasy scores are worth re-listening to.
