Hi all,

I just bought an older version of the stand-up bear pan on ebay and noticed, that while the heat core is there, all of the clips to hold the two outer shell pieces together are missing .

Can anyone tell me what these clips are made of, or any suggestions of what I can replace them with? Thanks so much in advance!!!

Cheers,
Ame

small binder clips work great

and

you can order replacement original style clips from Wilton:

and many online cake supply shops.

Thanks Doug! Appreciate it!

Watch the shipping from Wilton though, I went online to buy these and there cheap but shipping was thru the roof. I would do what Doug suggested and use the binder clips.
I have a question though for Doug, they don't scorch or anything? Have you used these before?

binder clips are metal...you can get ones that aren't painted the traditional black.

no reason they should scorch.

advantage to binder clips -- multiple sizes.

oh and I've also tied my 3-D pans shut w/ regular old twine (which can singe a bit) -- tho' this can be a bit tricky depending upon shape of pan and personal dexterity!

for bear -- tie, then fill ---

it's that 3-D train (and others like it) that's a real pain -- fill then tie!
