FAQs
What size dowels does this joiner work with?
This joiner is specifically designed to work with LOYAL Large Dowels. It will not fit other sizes or brands.
Can I use this to join different types of rods?
No, the bracket is engineered for the specific dimensions of LOYAL Large Dowels to ensure a secure fit and adequate support.
How many brackets will I need for a tall cake?
The number of brackets needed depends on the desired height of your cake and the length of your LOYAL Large Dowels. You will need one bracket for each point where you need to extend a dowel.
Is the material food safe?
The product is made of durable polypropylene, which is a common material for cake decorating tools. It should be cleaned before use and any part that directly contacts edible cake surfaces should be protected or covered.
Can I cut the dowels if they are too long even with the joiner?
Yes, LOYAL Large Dowels can be cut to size if needed. However, the joiner is designed to allow for near-infinite extension, reducing the need to cut.
Will the white color be noticeable in the cake?
The white bracket is designed to be internal support. With proper cake construction, it should be fully concealed within the cake layers.
Troubleshooting
Dowel connection feels loose.
Ensure the dowels are pushed in fully and evenly. Check that you are using the correct LOYAL Large Dowels, as off-brand or different sized dowels may not fit snugly.
Bracket is difficult to insert dowels into.
Verify that the dowels are not bent or damaged at the end. Ensure no debris is present inside the bracket's openings.
Cake structure is still unstable.
Confirm that enough dowels have been used and joined to adequately support the weight of the tiers above. Re-evaluate the dowel placement and number used for the specific cake dimensions.
