Plastic Mold for Conical Candles

Rigid plastic mould (reference CQ34-PCM070) for candles with a cylindrical base and a tapered, conical top: a classic shape with a handmade touch. It makes a candle 10 cm tall and 5 cm in diameter, suitable for rustic decor, romantic settings, centrepieces, celebrations and gifts. Easy unmoulding makes it useful for beginners and makers alike.

What you need

• Wax: in a rigid mould the wax must shrink and release cleanly, so use a pillar/moulding wax: Paraffin 56-58, APF mouldable soy wax or Premium soy wax for figures and moulds.
• Wick: size 4-5 cm for the 5 cm diameter (4-5 cm cotton wicks). Do a burn test.
• Wick threader, wick holder and liquid candle dyes if you want to add colour.

Tips for use

1. Thread the wick with the threader and centre it at the mould opening with the holder.
2. Pour at the temperature recommended for your wax, slowly, to avoid bubbles.
3. If a sinkhole forms around the wick as it cools, top it up with a second pour.
4. Let it cool completely and take the mould apart to release the candle.

FAQ

Is it reusable? Yes, the rigid plastic withstands many uses if you clean it after each pour.

Can I use container soy wax? No: it is too soft and does not release well. Use a moulding wax.
