Silicone Mold – Cactus

Made from high-quality silicone, both flexible and heat-resistant, the mold has a total height of 12.5 cm and a diameter of 9 cm, with a circumference of 29 cm. The finished candle has a casting height of 10 cm and a diameter of 8.6 cm, using approximately 87 g of wax. A 3x10 wick is recommended for safe and efficient burning.

This mold stands out for its versatility, ease of use, and durability. Its flexible structure allows effortless demolding while preserving every detail of the design. It is optimized for beeswax, enhancing its natural texture and warm tone, but it also performs well with other vegetable waxes. Perfect for limited series or special editions, it is a great tool to enrich a beekeeper’s catalog or to create highly attractive personalized gifts.

For the best results, ensure the mold is completely clean and dry before starting. Insert the 3x10 wick centrally, secure it at the top, and fix it at the base. Melt the beeswax at a controlled temperature between 65 and 70 °C and pour it slowly into the mold to avoid bubble formation. Let it cool naturally at room temperature without moving the mold until the wax has fully solidified. Once cooled, carefully remove the candle, trim the wick to the desired length, and if necessary, refine the edges with a hot blade.

Beeswax candles offer not only beauty but also many benefits: • They are natural, biodegradable, and environmentally friendly, free of chemicals and petroleum derivatives. • They emit a warm, soft light without black smoke. • Their combustion helps purify the air through the release of negative ions. • They allow beekeepers to transform surplus wax into value-added products, highly appreciated in fairs, local markets, and specialty shops.

The “Cactus” mold is more than just a candle-making tool — it’s a way to express creativity, diversify beekeeping production, and connect with customers who value artisanry, sustainability, and authenticity.
