GENERAL PRODUCT INFORMATION
- Optimal Hardness: The molds are made from durable white silicone with optimal hardness that does not damage candle details. They are flexible with smooth inner surfaces.
- Pouring Guarantee: If storage and usage conditions are followed, you can perform approximately 500 candle pours.
- Multi-Purpose Pouring Advantage: Due to their silicone composition, these molds are suitable for multiple casting uses. Besides candle pouring, they are compatible with soap, concrete, epoxy, scented stone, ceramic, and plaster castings. By considering the freezing and working conditions of your raw materials, 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 to produce these objects will be sent with your order.
- Special Kraft Box and Information Label: Your product will be delivered in a special kraft box with a label containing gram and size information to help you calculate raw material amounts easily. This label helps prevent material waste and eliminates the need to search for this data digitally every 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 cut or pierced. Before candle pouring, you can easily pierce the point where the wick will pass using a tool called a "piercer" or a medium-thickness quilting needle within seconds without damaging the mold.
- Level the Surface: To achieve a flawless form, ensure the surface where you place the mold before pouring is flat and level.
- Temperature Balance: Pay attention to the melting temperature of the wax and pouring temperature to ensure smooth details. Trying to remove the candle from the mold before it is fully cooled and solidified can cause loss of details and shape differences.
- Colored Pouring Tip: If your wax mixture is colored, the silicone mold may change color after pouring. Following cleaning and storage instructions will minimize color transfer for subsequent pours. To reduce workload and risk, we recommend having separate molds for colored and white pours.
- Use of Mold Release Spray: For serial productions, you can use mold release spray to extend mold life and quickly release objects from the mold. When applying, ensure an even layer on the inner surfaces of the mold.
CLEANING AND STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
- Post-Use Cleaning: After pouring, gently heat the inside of the mold with a hot air gun and wipe off wax residues with paper towels. Then wash with soapy water and dry thoroughly.
- Perfect Storage: Since silicone is flexible, it may deform under pressure over time. Make sure your mold is completely dry and place it back in its original kraft box. Store away from direct sunlight, high heat, and heavy weights.
- Quick Cleaning: You may use wet wipes, adhesive tape, or cologne wipes for quick cleaning.
Remember, every candle pouring is an enjoyable experience. We wish you patience and pleasure throughout your production process.
