Silicone Molds – Mouse with Gift

Made from high-quality, heat-resistant flexible silicone, this mold allows for precise detailing in small-format candles. It measures 10.5 cm in height and 6.3 cm in diameter, with a circumference of 19.5 cm. The finished candle reaches a casting height of 8.5 cm and diameter of 3.7 cm, requiring approximately 39 g of wax. For optimal burning, a 3x8 wick is recommended.

This mold stands out for its easy handling, high detail fidelity, and reusability. Its elastic silicone ensures a smooth and safe release, even around the more delicate parts of the figure. It’s specifically designed for beeswax, highlighting its natural sheen and texture, though it also performs well with other natural waxes. Ideal for small-scale production, creative workshops, or beekeepers looking to expand their product range with popular, artisan-made items.

For best results, ensure the mold is clean and fully dry before use. Insert the wick through the center from the base and secure it at the top. Melt beeswax to a temperature between 65 and 70 °C and pour slowly into the mold to prevent air bubbles. Let the wax cool at room temperature without moving the mold. Once fully solidified, gently remove the candle, trim the wick, and refine any excess on the base or edges using a hot blade or finishing tool.

Beeswax candles offer a range of valuable benefits: • They are natural, biodegradable, and sustainable, with no synthetic additives or petroleum derivatives. • They burn with a clean flame and no black smoke, releasing a soft, pleasant honey aroma. • Their combustion releases negative ions that help purify the air. • They allow beekeepers to add value to their wax surplus by transforming it into artisanal products that are highly appreciated at markets, fairs, and specialty shops.

With the “Mouse with a Present” mold, you’re not just making a cute and meaningful candle—you’re embracing sustainability, creativity, and the artisanal spirit that defines quality beekeeping.
