FAQs

What size candle does this mould create?

The finished candle will be approximately 160 mm in height and 60 mm in diameter, resulting in a tall, square pillar shape.

What type of wax can I use with this mould?

This mould is heat-resistant up to 120°C and is suitable for use with most common candle waxes, including paraffin, soy, and beeswax blends.

How do I clean the mould?

Clean the mould with warm, soapy water using a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid abrasive materials to prevent scratching. Ensure it is completely dry before storing.

What wick size is recommended?

The recommended wick size for this mould is 3x9 (Item No. 73318).

Can this mould be used for melt and pour soap?

While the mould is heat-resistant, its primary design is for candle making. Soap making temperatures and additives might affect the plastic over time. It's best used with candle waxes within its temperature limits.

Is the mould durable for repeated use?

Yes, the mould is manufactured from robust plastic designed for repeated use, provided it is cared for properly.

Why is visibility through the clear plastic important?

The clear plastic allows you to monitor the wax as it pours and cools, helping you to identify and correct issues like air bubbles or uneven setting in real-time, leading to a smoother final product.

Troubleshooting

Candle has air bubbles or voids

Ensure wax is poured at the correct temperature (refer to wax manufacturer guidelines). Tap the mould gently after pouring to release trapped air. Consider pouring in stages for very tall candles.

Candle has a sinkhole or dip at the top

This is common with some waxes. Reheat the top surface of the candle slightly or use a heat gun to melt the top layer, allowing it to settle. Alternatively, top off with a small amount of freshly poured wax.

Candle is difficult to remove from the mould

Ensure the candle is completely cool and solidified. If it's still stubborn, try placing the mould in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to slightly contract the wax. Gentle wiggling may help.

Uneven candle shape

Verify the mould is on a perfectly level surface during pouring and cooling. Ensure the wick is centered and taut, as an off-center wick can lead to uneven burning and shape issues.
