How to Use

Insert a wick pin through the base hole and seal with mold sealer putty. Stand the mold upright and pour melted pillar wax at 60–68°C. Allow to cool fully at room temperature — do not rush cooling as this can cause cracking or poor surface detail. Top up any sinkholes with a second small pour once the first has set. Once fully cooled, peel the mold away gently from the base upward. Trim wick to 5–7mm before first burn.

Frequently Asked Questions

What wax works best for these molds?
Hard paraffin pillar wax gives the sharpest honeycomb and floral relief detail. Beeswax is an excellent natural choice and complements the honeycomb designs particularly well. Avoid soft container soy or coconut wax — it won’t hold the 3D form. If using soy, add 5–8% candelilla or beeswax to firm it up.

How much wax do I need per design?
Use the finished candle weights as your guide: Floral Bowl ~175g, Honeycomb Botanical Cylinder ~153g, Honeycomb Bee Cylinder ~169g, Honeycomb Vase ~141g, Honeycomb Bee Pillar ~170g, Berry Bouquet Cylinder ~171g. Always melt a little extra to allow for a top-up pour.

Are these suitable for beeswax candles?
Yes — and beeswax is highly recommended for the honeycomb designs in particular. The natural honey tone of beeswax enhances the honeycomb and bee surface detail beautifully. Both yellow and white beeswax work well.

Can I use these for soap or resin?
Yes — all six molds are compatible with cold-process soap, melt-and-pour soap, resin, and plaster. For resin, use a mold release spray before pouring for easier demolding.
