Pro Tips for Using Silicone Moulds
Prep Your Mould
Candle mixture residue will affect the outcome of your candles. A clean mould is necessary to create a new batch of candles. Wash the silicone mould with mild soap and warm water and make sure it’s completely dry before you pour in the wax. This step ensures your candle will pop out smooth and flawless.
Pour the Wax
Take your time when pouring. Slow, steady pours help prevent air bubbles and ensure even filling and consistency. If you’re adding dye colours or scents, mix them thoroughly before you start.
Demould Like a Pro
Here’s where the magic happens. Once your wax is set, gently peel the mould away. No tugging, no rushing—just let the flexibility of the silicone do the work for you.
