Candle Mold – Patterned Star

"Patterned Star" Silicone Mold: Texture that Stands Out

Create impressive candles and decorations with this unique textured star mold. Unlike smooth molds, this design features an intricate pattern structure that catches the light beautifully when the candle is lit. Made from durable, temperature-resistant silicone, it is built for years of use, making it a smart investment for beekeepers and crafters who want to offer distinct, high-quality holiday items.

Instructions & Compatibility:

• Suitable Materials: Beeswax, soy wax, palm wax, paraffin, ceramic plaster, creative concrete, epoxy resin, and soap base.
• Preparation: Silicone spray is crucial here to release the pattern. Thread and tighten the wick. Secure the mold tightly with rubber bands to prevent leakage.
• Pouring Temperature: Pour wax between 50°C and 60°C. This ensures the liquid reaches every crevice of the pattern before setting.
• Safety: Always follow safety precautions with hot substances.

💡 Expert Tips for Textured Molds:

1. Fighting Micro-Bubbles: Intricate patterns love to trap air pockets. Pro-Tip: Immediately after pouring, tap the sides of the mold firmly and repeatedly for a few seconds. This forces the air bubbles to detach from the detailed crevices and rise to the top.

2. The Texture Advantage: Textured molds are forgiving. If your beeswax isn't perfectly filtered or your soy wax develops "frosting," the pattern hides these minor visual imperfections much better than a smooth mold would.

3. Patient Demolding: The patterned surface creates more friction during removal. Ensure the wax is completely cool and hard. Using silicone spray beforehand is essential to ensure the candle slides out without damaging the intricate design.
