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: for a 2.5 cm diameter, pre-cut sizes (from 4-5 cm) are too large; use the 61 m roll of unwaxed wick and cut it to the height of the mould. 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.
- Pour slowly so the wax reaches the bottom of such a narrow mould without trapping air.
- 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.
Frequently asked questions
Will it fit a standard candlestick? The finished candle is 2.5 cm in diameter; check that it matches the socket of your candlestick.
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.
