I’m going to have to invest in a block, the single ones always come out crooked. I use the same method as you too 😂 a cookie rack on a sheet so the wick doesn’t get in the way and the PVC pipe to somewhat hold it straight...
@@brendacuevas4676 it’s definitely one of my best candle making investments being able to make multiple taper candles at once ✨ PVC pipe is a great idea! 😉
@@michelletegolacoaching The tapers will harden up as they cure and tend to last a bit longer if you wait a day or two before burning them. I don’t recommend partially filling these molds. It would be difficult to remove the candles from the mold, which could ruin your mold if they don’t come out properly. This mold is available in 6” also, so I recommend using that size if you want shorter tapers 😊
@@sarajeanirene I usually pur them at around 162 Fahrenheit. I will have to try a little cooler next time. Do you know what the reason could be for the sink holes that I get when they cool? Also due to the wax being too Hot?
Pouring at 162 isn’t too hot that it should cause this problem. Another thought is the amount of time they sit in the mold. The tapers need ample time to cool down and set before being removed. Are you referring to sink holes when pouring jar candles or taper candles? 😊
@andre6867 Mold release sprays like this one amzn.to/413a6nV are often recommended when using silicone molds. I personally have never had need to use it, but you may give it a try ☺️

Thank you so much .i love beeswax candle What size of wick did you use?
#2/0 cotton, here’s the link for the wick I use amzn.to/469gkU2
Thank you 🙏
Do you have to cure these at all before lighting them? Also if I want to make shorter candles do I just fill it less?

where would I get these molds?
@sarahjeanirene, could you let me know how many pounds of beeswax you use for the eight-candle mold? And how many candles you get from that amount?
@@HannaGuido each candle is about .75-0.80 oz x 8 = 6-6.4oz total for 8 tapers 😊

I am having difficulties removing my Candles from the Mold, do you know why that is?
The ideal temperature for pouring these is between 150-160 degrees Fahrenheit. Is it possible they’re being poured at a higher temp?

It looks like this particular mold is sold out with no comparable at that same vendor. Do you have any recommendations for a similar mold?
