I followed Goss's technique, which was baking sheet in the oven at 200F for three minutes and it worked beautifully. Before that, I'd attempted the rubbing alcohol and floss and made a huge mess, gouged my pans and even broke some. My husband did have to crazy glue some very thin washers on some of my deported shadows, but it wasn't a big deal or time consuming and is well worth it. No more buying repeats or nearly identical shades because I can pull out my cases and check before buying. This is one of my most favorite DIY and I have many... :-)Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06494658036247395749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-91513744569721878792015-05-29T10:57:17.570-07:002015-05-29T10:57:17.570-07:00Also, shipping was free!Also, shipping was free!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00613907559104011638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-73638533172459786652015-05-29T10:47:06.817-07:002015-05-29T10:47:06.817-07:00Thanks for the tip!

I used a heat method (actual matches instead of lighters, followed by gently removing with needle nose pliers or prying out with tiny, two-pronged forks). The good thing about my experience with the heat method is that there was no black smoke or heinous fumes because I didn't keep the flame under plastic very long. Every few seconds I would check to see if the heated plastic was soft enough. At "taffy consistency" I knew the glue had melted. The trickiest part was making sure my hand holding the palette (not the match) didn't get burned, so I would use the pliers to hold the palette to create some distance between my skin and the heat source.Abbi Crutchfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04984255030758291096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-50954887986769019462015-05-29T06:44:48.074-07:002015-05-29T06:44:48.074-07:00I almost went this route a few months ago but deci...I almost went this route a few months ago but decided to spend $8 on a MAC Pro Palette Large, which is double sided, with free shipping.

I do love the idea of having everything together. I am doing a lot of traveling soon and I suppose a rubber band slipped over it would do the trick for travel. Going to rethink purchasing these.

I broke a few shadows that I mushed back together with rubbing alcohol. Nyx, and coastal scents do not stick; however the Almay softies did. Those popped out super easy with no heat. I agree with the closure of this case, mine doesn't snap closed at all. I use a rubber band to keep it closed.

You ...Echoing others who suggest using a flat iron. You won't get that burning plastic smell you get when using an open flame. It might still be a little stinky, though. I've depotted a lot of things at this point - I must have about two dozen Z-Palettes now - and I've rarely found pans for which a no-heat method works well. <br /><br />I highly recommend an actual depotting tool. They're the best for prying and scraping glue off. I have Z-Palette's official tool, which works great, of course (and is very pretty). But I also have a mixing/palette spatula from Crown Brush that has a similar shape and was much cheaper. I think I got it for $3 on HauteLook. You could also try a metal cuticle pusher if you've got one lying around or can get one cheaply. I also used one of those pointy metal nail files to pry pans out before I had any other tools.<br /><br />Major yes to the steel stickers mentioned above. I always get mine from, once again, Z-Palette. I don't know if anyone else sells them, or if you can get crafty and make your own. But the adhesive is very strong and you can write on them. <br /><br />One last tip - this is something I do that I don't see mentioned often in depotting discussions, although I'm sure there are plenty of others who do it. I like to soak my pans (not fully submerged - just enough to cover the bottom) in a shallow dish of rubbing alcohol for a few minutes so I can more easily scrape all the glue off. It'll give you a much better surface to write on the pan of it's already magnetized or put a sticker on if it's not. <br /><br />This wall of text has been brought to you by obsessive depotting. I find it strangely addictive.

Just pour it around the metal edge of the pans, maybe use a pin to get the liquid to run beneath a little more, and that softens the glue so you can pry out the pans without mangling them. Good luck!
