19 cm TALL, 6.2 AT THE BASE, PER LYSON | 196 g OF WAX PER PIECE, PER LYSON: FIVE PER KILO |
70-75 °C POURING TEMPERATURE FOR BEESWAX | 1 SIDE CUT: THE FIGURE COMES OUT WITHOUT PULLING ON THE HANDS |
LYSON FS606 silicone mould for a devotional Jesus candle, the Sacred Heart standing on a plinth: a figure 19 cm tall and 6.2 at the base, in a 20.5 cm mould with a side cut to take the figure out without pulling on the hands. It takes about 196 g of wax per piece per LYSON, about five candles per kilo, and beeswax is poured at 70-75 °C.
A figure with hands, folds and a heart in relief does not come whole out of a closed mould; the side cut opens and the figure comes out with fingers and face intact.
01 · HOW IT IS USED
Close the cut with three or four rubber bands (2798), centre the wick with a toothpick or a wick holder (2784) and pour slowly through the plinth. Beeswax is poured at 70-75 °C: it melts at 62-65, so any cooler it reaches the face and hands thick, and above 85 it darkens. A few taps on the plinth right after pouring bring the bubbles out of the face. Leave it to cool untouched, a few hours for nearly 200 g, and open it at the cut. With wax no release agent is needed; the spray (2609) is for resin or plaster, and then the mould is dedicated to that material.
02 · HOW MUCH WAX
LYSON gives about 196 g of wax for the 19 × 6.2 cm figure, just over a third of the 550 g its enclosing cylinder would hold. A kilo of block wax (1138) gives about five pieces. With the first pour, weigh yours: with your wax and your fill level, that is the right number for planning the Holy Week or First Communion run.
03 · HOW IT BURNS
Lit, the flame eats the head and shoulders first and the robe is left as a pool: it is a candle for lighting on occasions, on a plate, not a table candle that burns evenly to the bottom. The first time, one hour per 2.5 cm of diameter, about two and a half hours, so the pool reaches the edge and does not tunnel. Wick for about 6 cm: the tabbed ones (867) or the square-braided roll (1866). Most are sold as devotional figures for the family altar, a communion gift or a parish fair, and many are never lit.
04 · WHAT IT GOES WITH
From the same series, the Holy Family (2685, 2785) and the Praying Angel (1855) to make up the fair table. The mould is flexible silicone: wash in warm water, store closed and unfolded, and keep it out of the oven and away from food use. The 0.2 kg on the sheet is the shipping weight; a 20 cm mould weighs a good deal more in the hand.
