Instructions on making Candles Using Polycarbonate or Glass Molds
- To help the candles release from the mold, rinse in soapy water and shake off the drops or spray with silicone.
- Dip the correct size wick into molten wax until all air bubbles have come out. Warm the mold gently by a fan
heater.
- Arrange the mold so that it is held vertically with the wick supported a few centimetres about the mold. Seal the
wick where it exits the mold with plasticine or wax glue.
- Pour the beeswax at about 75 deg C. The hollow formed in the base as the wax cools can be filled with fresh wax.
- When the candle is quite cold, remove it from the mold. A sharp tax with the hand may help it or a spell in the
freezer may encourage really stubborn ones.
