WhatsCooknGoodLokn and I decided to experiment and try the two ways of potting/depotting NYX jumbo pencils. (Blow Dryer vs Microwave).
Watch this video to see how the dryer method worked out and be sure to check out the link at the end to see the microwave method.

In the end we decided that the blow dryer method worked best at least for us.

Items needed:
Alcohol to sanitize everything
Paper Towels for easy clean up
A wrench type tool; wrench, vice grips, pliers
Hair Dryer
3, 5 or 10 gram container - be sure to clean it first

Thanks for watching, let me know if you have any questions.

Why bother to depot the crayon? How/what do you use it for now?

I thought we mentioned it in the video but it basically makes it like a paint pot so that you can apply it with a brush and don' t have to waist product sharpening, not to mention its hard to find good sharpener for such a large pencil. Its also personal preference.

Hey did you guys try de-poting a lip pencil?

Blow dryer is my method of choice also!

A lip pencil, damn! How did you do that if it was one that needed sharpening? Did you have to cut one tip off?

the nyx jumbo lip pencils....i haven't tried it yet, i'm gonna though after work today. on the nyx jumbo e/s pencils, i do it with a blow dryer, I burned my hand with the microwave..ouch!!

Ok I misunderstood. I believe the NYX Jumbo Lip Pencil would be the same ad the Jumbo Crayon, I thought you meant a regular sized kip pencil. Yea, if you watch the attached video/Part 2 you can see the microwave method didn't work for us either. I think the dryer is safer.

Great video! Take a look at my newest video post for a couple of tips on doing this with a dryer. Might help you out a bit next time... mainly heating the metal piece to loosen and blowing from the side. Hope to see more from you.

thank you for claifying!

If you watch part 2 you will see that did NOT work for us, but I do know which vid you are talking about. The microwave method was messier for us :(

i saw a video where a girl just took the lil cap off and then put it 10 seconds on the microwave i think is less messy or not messy at all try it..;)
