Fine Art Candle Molds
Use and Care of your Fine Art Molds


Using Fine Art Candle Molds

Our molds are constructed of thick 80 gauge clear petg plastic. We have found no warping with our candle molds, so no waterbath is necessary. Each two piece mold comes with it's precut pour spout, wick slot, and mold stand. Here are a few tips, please print these and read. Thank you. Yanni and Holly

1. Preparing The Mold
Run your wick through the pour spout through the mold and on to the end where the wick slot is. Run your wick through the pour spout to the other end where the wick slot is located and tape in place. Put the two mold halves together and tape the wick slot end with masking tape. Make sure your candle mold is aligned properly before masking to prevent excessive trimming later. Once you have your mold aligned, mask or clamp your edges and place in mold stand. We prefer to mask and clamp, but experiment to choose your desired method.

2. Pouring The Wax Follow all recommended safety guidelines for melting wax. These instructions are pertaining to the use of the mold. If you have any questions other than what you find here, please email us for more detailed candlemaking instructions. Wax temperature should be poured at 180 degrees. Pour the wax slowly and steadily to prevent air bubbles. Tap the sides of the mold to release the air bubbles. As the wax cools, a well will appear. Place your hands around the candle and if it feels cool, reheat leftover wax to 180 degrees and fill the well to create a smooth bottom.

3. Releasing The Candle When candle is completely cool, remove mold from stand and remove all masking tape. Gently pull the back half of the mold away from the candle in a straight fashion to prevent denting the candle. Then follow the same procedure with the front. Trim seams if necessary.

Please email with any questions and enjoy!
