Details of Candle Mould – Melchior

Silicone mould with a slit for a Melchior figure in beeswax, with the features of the face and the texture of the robes in relief.

At 50 °C beeswax is not poured: it is solid. The supplier's sheet says to pour between 50 and 60 °C. Beeswax melts between 62 and 65: at 50 it is solid and there is nothing to pour. It is poured at 70-75, and above 85 °C it darkens — that is the real ceiling.

01 · AT 50 °C WAX IS SOLID

And the sheet's «thermal shock» was not the problem

The sheet justified 50-60 °C by saying a gentle temperature «avoids thermal shocks that deform the face». What deforms the face is pouring thick wax that never reaches the detail. Between 70 and 75 °C it goes in liquid.

02 · THE FACE IS LOOKED AT FIRST

And that is where the bubbles settle

Air settles in the nose and the eyes. When pouring, tilt the mould slightly and go slowly; afterwards, firm taps on the base take the microbubbles away from the face.

It is a mould with a slit and the bands are compulsory before pouring. To unmould, open it sideways as far as the silicone allows and push from below: the neck is the stress point and you do not pull on the head.

03 · GASPAR IS NOT IN OUR RANGE

Even though this sheet mentioned him

We have Melchior and Balthazar, but not the third king. If you sell the complete scene, tell us and we will ask the supplier.

And a detail that adds value: Melchior carries the gold, and a touch of gold mica on the casket sets it apart on a market stall.

04 · BEFORE YOU BUY

70-75 °C, bands on, and no Gaspar.
