The two tines create a 2mm channel suitable for threading standard cotton wicks through set wax or firm molds. Best for punching through cooled pillar candles or block wax where a wider, clean channel is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFine Needle (B) — 13.5cm total length, 1mm tip\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA single fine-pointed needle, 1mm tip diameter. For piercing precise, narrow holes in silicone molds, thin wax sheets, or partially set wax.

Used to thread and pull wick cord through an existing hole in a silicone or rigid mold. The hook catches the wick and draws it through cleanly without fraying. Essential for pillar candle and shaped mold making where the wick is inserted after the wax sets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHandle: teal\/yellow non-slip rubber, 9.9cm — same across all three variants\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeedle\/tip: stainless metal, sharp and durable\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight — 35g\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for silicone molds, rigid plastic molds, set wax blocks, and wax sheets\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNot suitable for use on glass or ceramic containers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich tip do I need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePunching a new hole through set wax or a firm mold — \u003cstrong\u003eTwin-Tip (A)\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaking a fine entry point in a delicate silicone mold — \u003cstrong\u003eFine Needle (B)\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThreading wick through an existing hole — \u003cstrong\u003eCrochet (C)\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFor complete mold wick work, consider buying all three\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use these on silicone molds?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes — all three tips work on silicone molds. The fine needle (B) is best for precision entry points in thin silicone, while the crochet tip (C) is ideal for threading the wick back through once the mold hole is made. The twin-tip (A) is better suited to harder materials like set wax or rigid molds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need to wait for the wax to fully set before using these?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nFor punching through wax, yes — the wax should be fully cool and firm before using the twin-tip or fine needle. Partially set wax may deform around the hole rather than holding a clean channel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat wick size fits through each tip?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe twin-tip creates a 2mm channel — suitable for most standard pre-waxed cotton wicks. The crochet tip (1.9mm) handles similar wick thicknesses. The fine needle (1mm) is for very thin wicks or for making a starter hole to be widened.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use this to make taper candles?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThese tools are primarily for mold candle making, not taper candles. Taper candles are typically dip-formed or poured around a pre-positioned wick rather than wick-threaded after setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eShop More Candle Making Supplies\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/candle-making-supplies\"\u003eCandle Making Supplies\u003c\/a\u003e, shop \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/candle-wax\"\u003eCandle Wax\u003c\/a\u003e, shop \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/candle-fragrance-oils\"\u003eCandle Fragrance Oils\u003c\/a\u003e, or browse our full \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/candle-making\"\u003eCandle Making\u003c\/a\u003e range.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Crafty Corner","offers":[{"title":"Twin-tip punch needle","offer_id":48706943877314,"sku":"14:200006151#A","price":13.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Single straight needle","offer_id":48706943910082,"sku":"14:200006152#B","price":13.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Single crochet needle","offer_id":48706943942850,"sku":"14:200006153#C","price":13.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0739\/2700\/0258\/files\/Seaa2ea1dea6348189aedff82c5cf4760y.webp?v=1788187760","url":"https:\/\/mycraftycorner.com\/products\/candle-punch-tool-hand-drill-equipment-practical-small-tool-punch-needle-candle-wick-tool-diy-candle-making-supplies-durable","provider":"My Crafty Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
