How to Use Your Candle Mold

1. Insert the wick: Thread your wick through the base hole and seal the bottom of the mold securely with ultra-light clay or another soft, pliable material to prevent leaks.
2. Pour the wax: Melt your wax and pour it into the mold at a temperature between 60–90°C (140–194°F). Pour slowly and steadily for best results.
3. Allow to cool fully: Let the candle cool and set completely — approximately 4 hours — before attempting to demold.
4. Demold: Gently tap the outer edge of the mold against a tabletop surface to release the finished candle.

Wax Recommendations

• ✅ Best results: A 1:1 blend of soy wax and paraffin (peak) wax, or 100% paraffin wax.
• ⚠️ Single soy wax: Not recommended as a standalone option — soy wax's high viscosity can make demolding difficult. If using 100% soy wax, refrigerate the mold for approximately 20 minutes before demolding.

Please note: Due to the special structure of the mold base, the small holes at the bottom are hand-finished and do not affect mold performance or candle quality.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What type of wax works best with this 3D gear cylinder candle mold?

A: This candle mold works best with paraffin wax or a 1:1 blend of soy wax and paraffin wax. These formulas provide clean pouring and easy demolding. If you use 100% soy wax, we recommend refrigerating the mold for about 20 minutes before demolding to help release the candle due to soy wax's higher viscosity.

Q: How do I prevent wax from leaking out of the bottom of the mold?

A: Before pouring your wax, thread your wick through the hole at the base of the mold and seal the bottom firmly using ultra-light clay, modeling clay, or another pliable sealing material. This creates a wax-tight seal and keeps your pour clean and contained.

Q: How long should I wait before removing the candle from the mold?

A: Allow your candle to cool and fully set for approximately 4 hours at room temperature before demolding. Once set, gently tap the outer edge of the mold against a flat tabletop surface to release the finished candle cleanly.

Q: Is this candle mold reusable?

A: Yes! This transparent plastic mold is designed to be reusable across multiple candle-making sessions. With proper care — avoiding overheating and cleaning between uses — it can serve your candle-making projects for a long time.
