Candle Shop Ball Candle Making Mold

Candles not only make excellent decorations for your living space, but they also provide a romantic ambiance. Whether you’re interested in making candles for your own home or as a thoughtful gift for friends and family members, you’ll find there are plenty of candle making molds on the market to choose from.

As you shop, take a look at the type of material the mold is made out of. Common options include flexible silicone and durable plastic. The important thing is that the molds are easy to clean and that they release the candles without much effort.

Mold shape is also important. The Candle Shop Сylinder Candle Making Molds, Set of 4 contains pillar and cylinder-shaped molds in different sizes, while the MSDRDR Resin Silicone Candle Making Molds allows you to make pyramid, sphere and diamond-shape candles.

If the texture is important to you, you’ll want to go with the Fewo 3D Silicone Bee Candle Making Molds. This set has a honeycomb mold that produces a ribbed exterior, as well as another beehive mold that offers a more traditional smooth surface.

Finally, if you do a lot of crafting, you may want a candle making mold that can also work for other projects. For example, the MILIVIXAY Plastic Candle Making Molds, 4-Piece can be used with paraffin, wax, palm wax and beeswax. Other sets also work with epoxy resin, polyester resins, cement clay and gum paste in addition to candle wax.

• Most molds need to be lubricated before pouring to allow the candles to be removed easily.
• Melted candle wax should not exceed 167 degrees Fahrenheit when it is poured into the molds. This could lead to leakage of the candle mass, as well as trouble removing the candle from the mold after it has set.
• Always place the mold on a flat surface and wait until the candle wax has completely cooled before you try to remove it from the mold.
• If you’re in a hurry to use the candle, you can place the mold in the refrigerator once the candle wax has reached room temperature. This will further cool the wax and make it easier to remove from the mold later on.
• Never place a candle mold in the refrigerator while the wax is still hot. It could cause the candle to crack.
• As you browse the cost of the candle molds, you’ll want to take into consideration the type of material used, the size of the molds and how many molds you get in each set.
