GENERAL PRODUCT INFORMATION
- Optimal Hardness: The molds are made of durable white silicone with optimal hardness that does not damage candle details. They are flexible and have smooth inner surfaces.
- Casting Guarantee: If storage and usage conditions are followed, you can cast candles approximately 500 times.
- Multi-Purpose Casting Advantage: Due to their structure, silicone molds offer multi-purpose casting advantages. Besides candle casting, they are compatible with soap, concrete, epoxy, scented stone, ceramic, and plaster castings. By paying attention to the freezing and working conditions of your raw material, you can create many different products. Not recommended for food products.
- Package Contents: The candles and stone powder castings shown in the images are not included in the sale. Only the high-quality silicone mold that allows you to produce these objects will be sent with your order.
- Special Kraft Box and Information Label: Your product will be sent in a special kraft box with a label containing gram and size information to help you easily calculate raw material. This label prevents raw material waste and saves you from searching for this data digitally each time.
USAGE INSTRUCTIONS
- First Use: It is recommended to clean your molds with soapy water and dry them thoroughly before use.
- Wick Placement: Since the molds have multi-purpose casting advantages, they are sent without wick holes being opened or cut. Before candle casting, you can easily pierce the point where you will pass the wick using a tool called "biz" or a medium-thickness quilting needle in seconds without damaging the mold.
- Level the Surface: To achieve a flawless form, make sure the surface where you place the mold before casting is flat and level.
- Heat Balance: To get smooth details from the mold, pay attention to the melting temperature and casting temperature of the wax. Trying to remove the candle from the mold before it is completely cooled and solidified may cause loss of details and shape differences.
- Colored Casting Tip: If your wax mixture is colored, the silicone mold may change color after casting. If you follow cleaning and storage conditions, this will minimize color transfer for your subsequent castings. To reduce workload and avoid risk, we recommend having separate molds for your colored and white castings.
- Use of Mold Release Spray: For mass production, you can use mold release spray to extend the mold's lifespan and to quickly release the object from the mold. When applying the spray, ensure an even layer on the mold's inner surfaces.
CLEANING AND STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
- Post-Use Cleaning: After casting, gently heat the inside of the mold with a hot air gun and wipe off wax residues with a paper towel. Then wash with soapy water and dry thoroughly.
- Perfect Storage: Since silicone is flexible, it may warp over time under pressure. Make sure your mold is completely dry and place it in its original kraft box. Store away from direct sunlight, high heat, and heavy weights.
- Quick Cleaning: You can use wet wipes, adhesive tape, or cologne wipes for quick cleaning.
Remember, every candle casting is an enjoyable experience in itself. We wish you a joyful and patient production process.
