Honey straws/sticks?
« on: August 03, 2016, 12:17:46 pm »
Does anyone know where I can buy the empty clear tubes to fill with honey?

Any tips on filling them and sealing them?

Thanks

Don't know where to buy them, but I was thinking about this for a while.

That machine looks very cool but when he seals the ends that are connected to the fill tubes it seems like there has to be a mess to clean them up?

Unless I am not understanding how it works?

Just looks like a swipe with a damp cloth to me.

I mean on the sealed and of each stick ........... Unless when it is pulled off the injector tube there is no honey getting down in that part of the straw but if the seal is at or above the honey level it seems like you would be cleaning each straw? ...... Not sure just wondering

every video i have seen on them being made the straws get cut rite at the end of where the straws are sealed so the sticky honey part is cut off.
