Candle Mold – Decorative Star

"Decorative Star" Silicone Mold: Detailed Christmas Ambiance

This mold is the perfect tool for creating candles that capture the essence of Christmas with a touch of sophistication. Designed for both hobbyists and professional workshops, its high-quality silicone stands out for its ability to reproduce the smallest details of the decorative pattern. It allows you to upgrade your catalog with wax or plaster figures that look like intricate craftsmanship, yet are surprisingly easy to demold thanks to the material's flexibility.

Instructions & Compatibility:

• Suitable Materials: Beeswax, soy wax, palm wax, paraffin, ceramic plaster, creative concrete, epoxy resin, and soap base.
• Preparation: Spray inside with silicone spray (crucial for fine details). Thread and tighten the wick. Secure the mold with rubber bands to prevent leakage.
• Pouring Temperature: Recommended pouring temperature is between 50°C and 60°C. If the wax is too hot, you might lose definition in the small ornaments.
• Safety: Always exercise caution when handling hot wax.

💡 Expert Tips for Fine Details:

1. The Secret to Definition: For molds with tiny ornaments, silicone spray isn't optional—it's vital. It helps the wax flow into the design's micro-pores without sticking, ensuring that no small relief breaks off during demolding.

2. Base Stability: As wax cools, the base often shrinks unevenly. A pro tip: before the candle is fully cold (while still slightly warm), trim the excess from the base with a knife or rub it on a warm pan to flatten it. This ensures your star stands perfectly upright.

3. Avoid "Jump Lines": Pour the wax in one single, continuous motion. Pouring steadily at ~50°C prevents visible cooling lines or layers from appearing on the decorated surface.
