Description
Rigid clear plastic mould (reference CQ34-PCM057) for cube candles with clean, minimalist lines. Its compact format makes a 5.1 × 5.5 cm candle, suitable for simple decorative or scented candles, gift collections personalised by colour or fragrance and small-batch handmade production. Being transparent, it lets you pour the wax precisely.

What you need for each candle
- Wax: 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 6-7 cm, matched to the candle diameter (6-7 cm cotton wicks). Because of the corners, one size above the 5.1 cm side. Do a test burn with your wax and fragrance.
- Wick holder to keep the wick centred and taut, and a digital thermometer to check the pouring temperature.
Tips for use
- Fix the wick centred and taut in the mould with the wick holder.
- Pour at the right temperature for your wax: around 65 °C for the soy wax for figures.
- Only unmould once the candle is completely cold: rigid plastic does not flex, and forcing the candle out too early can mark the edges or break it.
- Take the mould apart to remove the candle instead of forcing it out, and clean it before the next pour.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use container soy wax? It is not ideal: it is soft, so the candle may lose its shape or stick to the mould. A moulding wax works better.
How much wax do I need per candle? Fill the mould with water, measure the millilitres and multiply by 0.9 to get the approximate grams of wax.
