How to Use

Thread a pre-tabbed wick through the wick hole at the top of the mold and secure it at the base. Place the mold upside-down on a flat surface.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which size should I choose?
Size A (small) produces a compact shell candle approximately 2.44in wide — ideal for favor candles and gift sets. Size B (large) produces a more substantial decorative candle at 2.91in wide, better suited as a standalone gift or home decor piece.

How do I thread the wick?
Thread a length of wick through the hole at the top of the mold before pouring. Pull it taut and secure it to a wick bar or skewer resting across the base (which faces up during pouring). Seal around the wick hole with a small amount of putty or blu-tack to prevent leaks.

What wax works best for shaped candles?
Paraffin or a harder soy wax blend works best for 3D shaped candles as it holds crisp detail and demoulds cleanly. Soft soy waxes can lose definition when unmoulded. A 464 soy or IGI 4630 paraffin are popular choices for pillar-style molds.

Can I use this for resin?
Yes — silicone releases cured resin cleanly. Fill with UV or two-part epoxy resin, cure fully, then flex the mold to release.

How do I get the best texture detail?
Pour wax slowly to avoid air bubbles. If bubbles appear on the surface, use a heat gun or warm breath to gently pop them before the wax sets.
