- In this video I show you how I make a pillar candle mold from stuff lying around in my shop. This is the first time I have tried this design and did not know if it was going to work out. Check out the video to see if I ended up with 20 oz of hot, red wax all over the place! Thanks for watching this video and if you found it enjoyable, please hit "Like" and subscribe to my channel. Thanks, Capt Mike

Capt MIke. Make an album of your voice saying random stuff. You'd make a killing. It's so soothing!
Thanks Paula. An old man needs all the support he can get! Thanks for watching my video.
Hahaha..... excellent vid, I've been using homemade molds like this for ages, works great and pvc is cheap, reusable, comes in many diameters and can be cut to length. Here's something to try Mike: I take flexible silicone texture plates and tape them on the inside of the pvc, then fill as usual, let harden and de-mold. The texture plate peals right off, leaving behind a wonderful impression that can be left as is or filled with another color or colors. To fill it in I usually use a whipped wax, which is probably what you are frosting your candle with or at least similar. I let the candle cure for a few days then freeze it a few hours before smearing the whipped wax into the design and scraping off excess. Then, let set before giving it a final trim and clean-up and Voila beautiful decorated candle. I use a flexible silicone spatula (like for baking, in my family we call them "Magics"), to smear it in and polymer clay tissue blades are ideal for scrapping but a razor blade works too. I've even made my own texture plates from silicone and also foil tape (the real stuff, not the crafters kind). The benefit of that is you can stick it right to the mold. I usually use a light spray of mold release for the foil and for any brand new silicone plates.
*I use box tape or what some call packing tape to tape the plates in place and seal the release cut. It gives a smoother transition with less clean-up in the finished candle. I used 3M but recently been using Gorilla, never had a problem with either melting.
**Freezing the candle for a bit before filling helps harden the wax, both the already poured candle and the whipped filling and lessens chances for damage or distortion of the design.
***scraping off excess whipped wax is a slow and steady process to help avoid "popping out" pieces of the details or gouging the candle. Best way to start though is to not over fill, scrape off as much as you can as you apply it.
Hope this helps you and anyone else interested in this art form 💗💗💗
Thanks Starcat, those are good ideas!
Kudos for the Video! Forgive me for butting in, I would love your thoughts. Have you heard the talk about - Chireetler Earning Maker Rule (search on google)? It is a great one off product for learning how to make candles for fund or profit without the hard work. Ive heard some great things about it and my cooworker got amazing results with it.
Plumbers putty works out great to block the holes for candle mold. I also heard someone say to use pam or soap as a release for the wax.
I subscribed at "if you don't know what a double boiler is, ask your mother."
Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Thanks for the demo! For melting wax, I use a metal coffee can set into an old sauce pan with a couple of inches of water. The wax chunks go into the coffee can, the burner set on low heats the water, and the wax melts in the coffee can. You can bend the edge of the coffee can a bit to create a "pour spout" for the wax.
Thanks for the comment Sue. And thanks for watching my video!
Thanks Mike I giggled through the whole video ur a true cowboy 👢..
they do NOT teach these tips at the candle college! thank you Capt. Mike! making candles for my advent calendar.
Thanks for watching!
Great tutorial sir. I'm considering making tall thin candles for my parish as it may be more economical, and this will be my main go-to instruction. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
This was a great video , thank you! I have been searching for the perfect sized mould to no avail. With this video I can now make the exact size I want 🙌 thanks Captain Mike
Thank you for watching my video!
عفواً لتدخلي بينكما أنا أقترح عليك إستعمال الأنابيب PVC
فا متوفر عندك جميع الأحجام و بي إمكانك إختيار طول الشمعة حسب الرغبة على أن تغلق أسفلها بي أي غطاء بلاستيكي مثقوب من الوسط لو أفترضنا غطاء قنينة كولا بلاستيكي حسب ثخانة الشمعة و تضعها في وعاء ماء بارد فيه ثلج والبقية حسب الحالة الراهنة ❤
thank you so much for this amazing video, gosh! your amazing
Aww thank you so much im always wish to have a grandfather like you sadly my granpa died when my mom was little so he was a carpinter and my father fahter he was a singer he passed last year. But looking at your video i was wonder how was to have a grandpa and learn a lot 😣 thank uou again for teach that mold be honest is a very easy to make 👍🏻🙏🏼
And thank YOU for watching my video!
I love this!!
Love this idea. Thx for sharin
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏you did it. Thank you
Very nice!!
Thank you for watching!
wow! I have 26 lbs of paraffin, the result of friends buying into the "dip you hands in paraffin" craze... I was shopping 2" pillar molds , once I start melting I would like to do many at a time and that would be $$$yikes... using the "wax warmer" to melt the wax, will be interesting to see if it is hot enough.... using pvc, I could make several molds at a low price (hey.. I was thinking of using toilet paper cores lined with foil, hot glued tog, imagine, the time wasted though, some potential for texture) I was wondering, if you got the mold cool or cold before pouring.. it would make a different surface but, less danger of leaking but, not needed, your method worked great! In early days, I used to get the wax just hot enough to pour and adhere to the wick... brilliant! I need some advice on mixing stearin and... good to go! Thank you and, great video! Capt Mike is the kind of people I wish I knew locally... there is more to life than the mall and cable tv...
Perfection
Thanks for Watching!
Candle collage! 🤣😂
Thanks for watching.
You can put hot glue on the seam maybe instead of tape.
I'm sure that would work. It may be a little more difficult to remove the glue if you need to seperate the mold to get the candle out, but sounds likesomething that might work.
Your second and third pours should be 10° hotter than the pour before it to avoid the discoloration and layering.
thank you! I was thinking of cheating by making them intentionally layered ;-)
I use empty beer and soda cans. Just cut off the top and then cut it opwn with scisorcs or a knife. Still needs repouring tho, but no leaks :)
Good idea Eva!
how do you deal with the holes in the bottom? I've tried those and everything I tried to seal the hole with gets melted and my house is a mess :D
the candle comes out easily? great idea...
excellent video next time try to tie the wic around the tube to hold it together. Thanks :)
Thanks for watching my video DJ and thanks for the tip
it wont tunnel if you let the wax cool a little more before pouring it.
شكراً لك على هذه الطريقة أقترح عليك أن تستعمل لذوبان الشمع وعائين الأول فيه ماء والثاثي داخل الأول فيه شمع و يوضع على مصدر حراري بهدوء ...
هنا عندك طريقتين :
الطريقة الأولى : إما حار جداً وهذا لا أنصح به
الطريقة الثانية : او تتركه يصبح سائل نوعا ما و تصب القالب الموضوع في و وعاء ماء بارد جدا .
هنا بهذه الوضعية لا يتشكل للشمع جورة وهذه الطريقة انا جربتها و نجحت بها .
على كل حال شكراً لك و تحياتي لك من سورية من دمشق الياسمين لك ❤
New sub. Colorful language Lol. I'm new to candle making. I like the clothes pin tip. And i didn't know that meant tunneling. And i want to learn how to make molds. Where can i get that comb???
Hi thanks for the comment. Tunneling occurs two ways. First when you make a candle using pillar wax and second when you burn a candle that has not been wicked properly. When making a pillar candle the type of wax you use will shrink somewhat when cooling causing it to "tunnel" down the middle. You will need to fix that by adding more wax until the desired level is reached. The second type of "tunneling" is caused by using a wick which does not produce the required heat necessary to create a full melt pool. I am not sure what you mean by "comb". Please explain and I will try to answer. Hope this helps some.
@@CaptMike thank you very much.
@@CaptMike oh the big tool that has teeth. I might be calling it the wrong name.
@@lisab2437 Somewhere around 2:20 in the video I have a razor saw in my hand. Would that be what you are talking aobut?
@@CaptMike yes. That's it. Ty.
Hi,
Nice video. I am having variable bulge in candle and it have deboss hexagon pattern. Pattern are coming fine but the candle don't seems straight and have bulge. Please any suggestion.
Are you using a rigid mold or a silicon one? If it is a ridig mold you may be using a wax that is not dsigned for free standing candles.
@@CaptMike I am using silicone mold
@@mitulprajapati3236 I would guess the silicon is getting warmer around the middle and the wax expands out from there. Just for grins and giggles make a test candle in a plastic solo cup and see it the wax holds it shape.
Can you make that from pvc pupe?
How to make whiten the scrap wax,,please wat the exact chemical I'm starting business in making candle and I use scrap wax in the church
Sorry, but I do not know the answer for that. Maybe someone here can help.
I found a video not using cement all to make candle wax vessels using cement and regular plaster. Let me know if you'd like ratio or their video thanks
What kind of plaster do you use to make your molds, slump molds.
I use an inexpensive industral plaster ($9.00 for 50#). I use ceramic clay for glass slump molds.
@@CaptMike what kind of clay ?
@@samanthanicholson9015 you will have to use a clay used for throwing pots and such. It is called ceramic clay. It is water based. Start here: www.amazon.com/s?k=ceramic+clay+for+pottery&crid=16W0R4N4H6Y4C&sprefix=ceramic+clay%2Caps%2C193&ref=nb_sb_ss_ts-doa-p_3_12. A low fire clay will do just fine for making glass molds.
@@CaptMike so like cone 04 ? I have that I was concerned while I use to slump glass melt it that would cause the clay to break, we make alot of jewelry would like to try to make glass donut pendants
@@samanthanicholson9015 Cone 04 clay will work fine for making glass molds. As you know, glass fires coller than clay bisque. Just make sure your mold is thick enough to support the glass, about 1/4 inch or so.
Where’s the video of you turning it into a cake?
Sorry, but I have'nt made a cake candle in a loooong time. Maybe I get fiesty and give it a try again!
@@CaptMike do it 💪 😜
i think your wax is to hot i let my wax cool to 60 Celsius before i pore into a mould i make 12inch pillar candles and they never sink that much.
You could be right, but some waxes just dip like that, especially hard remelted candles. thanks for the comment.
Sir, please cut short talking too much !
I am sorry, but that is an occupational hazard. I try to be as brief as possible, but I cannot please everyone. Thanks anyway for watching my video.
I liked it... entertaining and much better than loud music that over ride5 the instructions on too many videos or the 5 minutes another site spent just cutting a milk carton to make a mold.. he showed us what we needed to know and, filled the time with delightful banter... maybe it's a cultural thing. The instructions moved along at a good pace, I was just amazed at the idea of just jumping into it without a trial run... if I thought it might leak, I would have pour an inch or two to find out...
