Description
GFSM-073 silicone mould for making 58 × 56 mm sphere candles with a smooth surface and a perfectly symmetrical shape. It is a small format that is quick to produce, designed for decorative, scented or massage candles, gift sets and shop series.
Features
- Reference: GFSM-073
- Mould size: 74 × 65 mm
- Finished candle size: 58 × 56 mm
- Candle volume: about 100 ml (approximate)
- Material: flexible, durable silicone, reusable and easy to clean
- Compatible waxes: soy wax, paraffin, beeswax and gel wax, among others
What you need for each candle
- Wax: about 90 g per candle (approximate). For a hard sphere with a good finish, use a moulding wax: Premium soy wax for figures and moulds, APF mouldable soy wax or Paraffin 56-58. Container waxes are too soft to release cleanly from a mould.
- Wick: size 5-6 cm, matched to the candle diameter (5-6 cm cotton wicks). Do a test burn with your wax and fragrance.
- Wick threader to pass the wick through the base and wick holder to keep it centred.
Tips for use
- Thread the wick with the threader and centre it at the mould opening with the holder.
- Pour at the right temperature for your wax: around 65 °C for the soy wax for figures.
- Let it cool completely, away from draughts, before unmoulding.
- Unmould by gently stretching the silicone; pulling on the wick can push it off centre.
- So that the sphere stands on its own, flatten the base slightly on a warm surface.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use container soy wax? It is not ideal: it is soft, so the sphere may lose its shape or stick to the mould. A moulding wax works better.
How many candles can I make from 1 kg of wax? About 11, at roughly 90 g per candle.
