Candle Mold – Christmas Tree with Star

"Christmas Tree with Star" Silicone Mold: A Holiday Essential

This mold is the cornerstone of any holiday candle collection. It creates a beautifully shaped fir tree topped with a star, featuring a smooth surface that perfectly showcases the quality of your beeswax. Designed for beekeepers and crafters looking to maximize sales during the winter season, this mold produces a sturdy, traditional figurine that is perfect for table settings or handmade gifts.

Instructions & Compatibility:

• Suitable Materials: Beeswax, soy wax, palm wax, paraffin, ceramic plaster, creative concrete, epoxy resin, and soap base.
• Preparation: Apply silicone spray inside. Thread the wick and tighten it with a toothpick. Secure the mold firmly with rubber bands to prevent leakage.
• Pouring Temperature: Pour wax between 50°C and 60°C. Controlled temperature is crucial to achieving the promised "smooth surface" without shrinkage marks.
• Safety: Always use caution when working with hot wax.

💡 Expert Tips for the Perfect Tree:

1. The Star (Critical Point): The star at the top is fragile. Never pull the candle out by the wick or the star itself. Open the mold wide after removing the bands and gently push the candle up from the base.

2. No Bubbles in the Boughs: Even with a smooth design, air can get trapped in the branch tips. Pour slowly and tap the mold gently against the table continuously while pouring to help air bubbles rise.

3. Glossy Finish: To ensure the tree looks polished and professional, use silicone spray before every cast. It acts as a release agent and helps achieve a shinier surface on the finished candle.
