Details of Candle Mould – Donkey

Silicone mould of the nativity donkey, with fine ears and legs: the figure that asks for most care when unmoulding.

The ears are this mould's critical point. Everything worth knowing turns around them: they are long, they are thin and they are the first thing to break if you are in a hurry. Technique makes up for it, and it is not complicated.

01 · 70-75 °C, NOT 50-60

At 60 °C beeswax is not even melted

Beeswax melts between 62 and 65 °C, so pouring at 50 or 60 means pouring wax that is still pasty or only just liquid: it arrives thick and stops halfway up the tips of the ears, which is exactly where it has to reach. The working point is 70-75 °C, always below the 85 above which wax darkens.

With other materials the number changes: soy wax, paraffin, plaster or resin each have their own temperature and behaviour. The mould takes them; the figure above is the one for beeswax.

02 · EARS, LEGS AND MUZZLE

Three moves that save the figure

Before pouring: silicone spray inside, above all on the ears, and the mould closed tight with strong bands so it does not open along the seam.

While pouring: tilt the mould a little so the air leaves by the muzzle and the ears, and tap gently on the base so the wax goes down and the bubbles come up.

When unmoulding: wait for a complete cool, no exceptions. And do not pull on the figure: open the mould by peeling it sideways to free the legs first, and only then push from the base.

03 · BEFORE YOU BUY

A nativity mould that rewards patience.

✓ FITS	Beeswax, soy, palm or paraffin, and also plaster, concrete, resin or soap base.
⚠ SPRAY AND BANDS SEPARATE	The release spray and the closing bands do not come with the mould, and on this figure both matter.
✕ IT DOES NOT TAKE HURRY	Unmoulding while warm breaks the ears and the legs. To run a series you need several moulds, not less cooling time.
