Gert is right Debbie, Bunnings. If you can't find any let me know and I'll get some for you.  :-*

We use De-Solv It - is that the same?? Orange oil I think, and works GREAT - I do glass etching and use old moccona coffee jars for repurposed tea/coffee/sugar cannisters - so much nicer if you can get all the glue off! (Although MY ones in the cupboard still have glue spots)  :-))

When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.

Thank you Gert and Astarra,
I'll get my DH to check it out on his next trip to Bunnings.
Thanks

I use planet ark Orange power, had it awhile, think bought in the supermarket, not quite as good as Big Kevs goo remover, but that's  long and gone from the shelves.
I child-proofed my house, but they still get in!

Great idea, I want to give cakepops a go for the first time. So this may be the way to chocolate coat them.
