Elastic bands for silicone moulds specially made to firmly secure split moulds during wax pouring. Durable, reusable, and available in various sizes to match mould diameter. Essential for clean, distortion-free candles.
The first number is the band's unstretched diameter; the second, its width. And the width is what decides whether the candle comes out marked.
Rubber bands for holding split silicone moulds closed while pouring wax. In three sizes, sold in packs.
01 · HOW THEY GO ON
The mould is closed by running bands around it at intervals of 2 to 3 cm. Fewer than that and the wax finds the seam; more than needed gains you nothing.
The pressure has to be firm but not excessive. A band that is too tight or too narrow presses the silicone inwards, and that mark is copied onto the candle: you get a groove where there should be nothing.
02 · WHICH SIZE TO CHOOSE
| Size | Diameter × width | Pack |
|---|---|---|
| 60 × 3 | 6 cm × 3 mm | 20 units |
| 80 × 6 | 8 cm × 6 mm | 10 units |
| 90 × 9 | 9 cm × 9 mm | 10 units |
The wider the band, the more it spreads the force and the less it marks. That is why big or heavy moulds ask for the 6 and 9 mm ones, and the 3 mm are kept for standard figures and medium moulds.
03 · WHY RUBBER
The rubber in these bands has good elastic recovery: it survives pour after pour without going slack, which is what happens to an ordinary band after two uses.
And it withstands contact with hot wax and the cleaning of the mould without degrading. With candles at 65-70 °C that is a condition, not a luxury.
