Prepare the mould by selecting the correct wick according to the provided chart on the LX wick range. Measure the wick length, and cut the wick accordingly.
- Using a tapestry needle (one with a large eye) , thread the pre measures wick through the eye, then finding the centre of the silicone mould, gently piece a hole through, pulling the wick through with it.
- Secure the wick with a small piece ( ball ) either Prestik, our moulding clay, to stick it into place, and to “seal” it, remember this will be the top of the candle.
- Thereafter thread the wick through a placeholder at the top of the mould, you might have to remove the placeholder while pouring and place over again after to secure into place.
- Lay down some newspaper because pouring any type of candles can be messy.
- Ensure that you work on a sturdy surface and your candle wicks are firmly in place. Note that the volume of the mould will differ from wax and pouring, one to the next as the fill line is to the top, but the candle might shrink depending on the blend.
- Follow the step by step instructions available on each of the applicable waxes. For moulded candles we recommend either Paraffin Wax or Eco Pillar Soy Wax
Special Note:
These instructions are based on our in-house testing. You should also explore the handling sheet, and conduct your own testing with fragrance loads, colouring and temperatures (download the complimentary testing sheet). We use the recommended fragrance load per wax you are using in the moulds, using our fragrance range. We advise using a digital thermometer to measure the correct temperature of the wax.
Un-moulding the Silicone candles
- Leave the candles to dry completely for at least 12 hours. The mould should not be warm at all, and the wax completely set.
- Remove the Prestik / moulding clay seal / tape seal, gently pull at the sides to loosen, then peel back the silicone, and gently pull the wicks through the holes made with the needles turn around, and gently remove the candle.
- Trim the wick off the base side of the candle, leaving the wick on the top shaped end before trimming.
