Details of Candle Mould – Melchior

Two-part silicone mould 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 two-part mould and the bands are compulsory before pouring — we have them at €1.61. 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 (€24.75), 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.
