Exclusive to Myka Candles & Moulds and hand-poured in Australia using premium platinum-cure silicone. Please allow up to 5 business days to be processed.
This handmade mould is crafted from platinum-cure silicone and features a slit on one side to assist with unmoulding. Platinum-cure silicone is known for its durability and tear-resistance. It can withstand high temperatures up to 230°C, but it is not recommended to expose them to excessive heat for long periods of time. In comparison to regular silicone moulds, moulds made with platinum-cure silicone are more long-lasting and has a shelf life of more than 30 years.
To use, simply start by piercing a hole in the center of the mould where you want the wick to come out. Thread the wick through the hole and align the two sides of the mould together before securing with rubber bands. Pour in melted wax and allow it to cure overnight before carefully unmoulding the candle. For best results, preheat your mould with a heat gun prior to pouring to prevent jump lines and air bubbles getting trapped.
Please note that this mould is intentionally cut to make unmoulding easier. This, in turn, will leave a seam line on the candle, but it's appearance can be minimized by ensuring that both halves of the mould are aligned as perfectly as possible before usage.

Mould Perfomance & Storage
The physical life of the mould depends on how you use it (materials cast, frequency, etc.). Casting abrasive materials such as concrete can quickly erode mould detail, while casting non-abrasive materials, such as wax, will not affect mould detail. Do not over-stretch or use any abrasive tools or fingernails when demoulding.
Before storing, the mould should be cleaned with a soap solution and fully dry. Two part moulds should be assembled. Moulds should be stored on a level surface in a cool, dry environment to maintain its original shape.
Disclaimer: mould is poured and trimmed by hand and therefore may have some minor exterior imperfections.

How To Use
Acrylic PVC Candle Moulds:
To use this candle mould, simply start by threading the wick through the center of the mould and securing it in place with a wick holder. Use blu tack to cover the wick hole to prevent leakage before pouring melted wax into the mould. Depending on the type of wax you are using, you may need to perform a second pour to even out the surface of the candle. Allow your candle to cure overnight before carefully unmoulding it. If the candle gets stuck, squeeze around the mould to release the candle from the sides.
Silicone Candle Moulds:
To use our candle moulds, simply start by threading the wick through the center of the mould and securing it in place with a wick holder. Then, pour in your melted wax and let it cool until it hardens. Depending on the type of wax you are using, you may need to perform a second pour to even out the surface of the candle. Allow your candle to cure overnight before carefully unmoulding it.
Concrete Trays & Vessels:
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.
- If your tray or vessel will be used for candles, 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.
