EVERY fin "floats" on side NEVER upright as in image. I have been experimenting for DAYS with half a dozen batches of "fins" each day. I have been freezing Reverse Osmosis filtered water (six stage). Prior to freezing the water is first boiled in microwave to disposes it of oxygen: for clear cubes. I have also frozen tap water, and distilled water. Same vexatious experience: fail.
Perhaps with a dremel I can trim the ice such that the fin will stand perpendicular to beverage surface. Maybe fins prefer alcohol? :rolleyes: It would probably be easier to carve fins from a Tovolo King Cube [favorite silicone ice tray] than to tinker with the shark tray hoping for at least one sharklike fin.
Consider how the tray sits in the freezer. I have mine resting on a plastic cutting board to provide a flat surface for the fin tips to rest. I arrange the tips so the top tray surface is itself entirely flat.
Unfortunately I could not wait a MONTH for the UK seller, "find me a gift" [seller=A1L4HT9WCK7DNA], package to arrive in time to gift it to someone so I ordered a second shark fin tray from a suddenly new American vendor, "Cool Stuff Express" [seller=A1F1JC5LAEA5EU]. Both trays are identical and therefore equally poor at producing the claimed ice mold. I ordered from "find me a gift" Jan 19, amazon claimed "Delivery Estimate: February 15, 2011 - March 1, 2011". Jan 20 I ordered from "cool stuff express" amazon claimed "Delivery Estimate: January 26, 2011 - January 31, 2011". The second order arrived in about a week followed by the first order a few days later :( Now I have a useless shark fin ice tray and a friend has a useless shark fin ice tray: two displeased owners.
This "shark fin" ice cube tray is clearly defective [by design]: NEVER producing ice that floats ___as shown___ on item page. I feel defrauded, a victim of bait & switch!

I recommend handgun silicone ice mold tray

I read and followed instructions. I had a hard time setting the tray upright, because it is so flexible. I had minor drips and spills. That was not as disappointing as ice fins floating sideways. Not sure why someone complained about the $50 price, because I spent about $7. I thought that was pricey, but I splurged for the fun product. Disappointing, for sure.

There cool ice cubes but I thought they would be bigger and I thought they fins would point up. I still like them tho.

Good and Bad
Hard to get the ice cubes out if the tray. The tops of the fins are thin and break easily. They will stick up in liquid, but will fall over easily too. Read more

shark ice cube tray.
It is so hard to find something for my son that is different and fun. He loved the shark fin ice cube tray, I just wish there were room for more fins.

very bad product
It seems like a great idea. I read the bad reviews, but thought that it wouldn't apply to me if I balanced it correctly. Read more

Great gift for a shark lover
I bought this as a little gift to my girlfriend who LOVES sharks. These things work great and actually float right side up which is what I was concerned about.
