Candles mold F007

Silicone molds for beeswax candles type - F007

The silicone mold is used for casting beeswax candles. The molds are made of high-quality silicone that easily withstands the temperature of melted wax. Silicone molds are usually made from one piece that is cut so that the candle can be easily removed. The cut in the mold is also for inserting the wick. The molds are designed for repeated use.

Silicone molds are suitable for casting wax, soap, plaster, resin, etc.

How to make candles from beeswax.

Before first use, or if it hasn't been used for a long time, wash the mold. Silicone oil may be released, which needs to be washed off with dish soap and water or wiped with a tissue soaked in alcohol.

Don't forget to secure the wick well. An ordinary rubber band, which is supplied with the mold, is used to fix the mold. If necessary, use more rubber bands. Round rubber bands are not suitable because they slide down on conical molds. For larger molds, rubber bands are not suitable, and it's better to use string, which is wrapped around the mold several times, or you can use stretch wrap.

Pour the wax into the molds at a temperature of about 100°C. As the wax cools in the mold, its volume shrinks. At the same time, the wax tends to adhere to the edges of the mold when solidifying. The final shape of the candle is therefore somewhat dependent on the elasticity of the mold material. It may help to pierce the center of the mold during solidification and then fill the hole with more wax.

Sometimes there may be a problem if there are cavities in the mold and it's a very complex mold. Due to the shrinkage of the wax, the volume decreases from these places. The result is unfilled protruding parts. You can solve the problem by first pre-pouring these parts with a smaller amount of wax.
