Thanks! How long would you say this whole thing takes for each stage?

I've had my selmi legend for 2 years now, and when I bought it I also bought the enrobing line but have always been too terrified to use it, mostly because I don't know how to clean and store it between usages- Do you clean off all the chocolate every time? If not, how do you start it without causing damage to the chains? Any other advice before I dive in?

I've been having some issue with large shapes not coming out as shiny as smaller ones- I usually use chef jungstedt dome mold, temper CB at 32 with silk from EZTemper, and spray at 32. Use my selmi for shelling , at 31.2C , room temp is 19-20C. I have no problem with my regular dome shapes, but recently have been doing large hearts and large easter eggs, and it just doesn't come out as shiny as the smaller shapes. Would you change anything in the process?

Any suggestions for amount of chocolates to bring for the tasting? Also, will anyone be in the tomric event on Thursday?

I can create a WhatsApp group if that works? Ill add whoever dms me their phone number

@Kerry Beali am happy to demo any of the design techniques i use for my store if there is interest. Also, in my previous life in eguullet there was a lot of interest in a whipped ganache i had learned that i am happy to share the recipe for

yessssss!!!!

Amazing news and i am in!!

So great to see ypu here @Louise nadine brill!! I started out with chocolate and egullet about 15 years ago when i lived in Israel, then moved to the US and was lucky enough to attend a couple of the in person workshops. OVer the years since, 2 kids, a full time job in software and work visa issues - i completely stopped for a while. After the pandemic started, instead of hoarding toilet paper and baking sourdough bread (well actually in addition 🤣), i went back to chocolate making, and started selling on a very small scale. Things took off, and i ended up quitting my software job and pursuing this full time , and back to this forum with old friends regarding fuji, which is amazing- i got the q4 setup, and switched the aircap to 0.8 instead of the one it came with. Also bought the lightweight hose (note that it connects to the regular hose, doesn't replace it 🤣). Jessica from Bliss was lovely enough to share her shopping list with me (not sure what her egullet user is?) , I can send it to you if you like?

🤣🤣🤣 We have a nice purple splatter all over now, my husband is ready to kill me!

Thank you! I ended up getting the fuji- i do a lot of detailed work with my grex, so plan on keeping them both around. Having the fuji connected to the turbine is actually an advantage for me so i dont need to switch between airbrush and spray gun. I managed to splatter with it, just haven't manage to not paint the entire room yet 🤣

I just got my new fuji i have no problem opening the cap, so it may be something that can be adjusted?

Hi everyone! Up until now, with the helpof the wonderful people in this thread i have been using the grex airbrush with a 0.7 needle and it has been great. Now, with holiday production, i find myself needing something faster, and am considering the fuji spray gun which seems liie it is most recommended here, I just had a few questions- 1. I read here that it isnt very good at gradient- is that a learning curve, or a real issue? 2. What is the recommended needle to use with the q4 system- i see contradicting recommendations between the smallest (0.8 i believe), and around double that (1.6?)? 3. Right now with my airbrush, i need to reheat it every 2 molds. How often does one need to reheat the fuji? Thank you!

A standard house dishwasher with regular soap. Melissa Coppel blew my mnid in her class saying there is no reason not to do that, and I completely agree.

lol, I meant not the traditional way 😂
