This design comes with 2 individual silicone moulds for the main body and the jar. It is compatible with various materials, including concrete, hydrostone, jesmonite, plaster, resin, and more.
To make the most of your vessel mould, follow these steps:
• Preparation: Begin by gathering your selected material and ensure it's mixed according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Pouring: Carefully fill the mould with your chosen material, ensuring it reaches the top.
• Air Bubble Removal: For a smoother finish, gently tap the mould on a sturdy surface to encourage any trapped air bubbles to rise to the surface.
• Curing: Adhere to the recommended curing time for your chosen material.
• Demoulding: Once the material has set and cured, carefully flex and remove the mould to unveil your creation.
Before making a candle in your vessel, it is vital to seal it with a heat-resistant sealer. Apply at least two coats to both the interior and exterior of the vessel. Ensure the sealant is fully dry before pouring in the wax.

Mould Care
Always store silicone moulds in their original shape and never leave them turned inside out. Keeping the mould in its intended form prevents the silicone from tearing due to prolonged exposure to unnatural positions. Clean with warm water and mild soap after every use and store in a dust-free environment.
How To Use
Silicone Candle Moulds:
Thread the wick through the centre of the mould and secure it in place with a wick holder. For best results, gently warm the inside of the mould with a heat gun before pouring, especially for designs with fine details, lettering, deep textures, or narrow areas. This helps the wax flow into small details more evenly and can reduce trapped air bubbles and visible pour lines.
Pour in your melted wax and allow it to cool and fully set before carefully unmoulding. Depending on the wax used, a second pour may be required to level the base. Always keep the heat gun moving and avoid overheating the silicone.
Acrylic PVC Candle Moulds:
Thread the wick through the wick hole and secure it with a wick holder. Seal the hole with Blu Tack to prevent leaking, then pour in your melted wax. A second pour may be needed depending on the wax used. Allow the candle to set fully before unmoulding. If needed, gently squeeze the sides of the mould to help release the candle.
Concrete Trays & Vessels:
Mix your chosen casting material according to the manufacturer’s instructions, then pour it into the mould. Gently tap the mould to help release trapped air bubbles and allow the piece to cure fully before demoulding.
If using the finished vessel for candles, apply at least two coats of a suitable heat-resistant sealer to the inside and outside. Allow the sealer to dry and cure completely before adding wax.
Mould Performance & Storage
Our silicone moulds are handcrafted from premium platinum-cure silicone, chosen for its durability, flexibility, tear resistance, and long lifespan. While the silicone can withstand high temperatures, prolonged exposure to excessive heat should be avoided.
Mould life will vary depending on the material used and frequency of casting. Abrasive materials such as concrete may gradually wear down fine details, while non-abrasive materials such as wax are much gentler on the mould. Avoid overstretching and do not use sharp tools or fingernails when demoulding.
Before storing, wash the mould with a mild soap solution and allow it to dry completely. Two-part moulds should be reassembled and stored flat in a cool, dry place to help maintain their shape.
Please note: Each mould is poured and trimmed by hand, so minor exterior imperfections may occur.
