1 - Items included in the Smooth-On candle kit: 3'' x 4'' acrylic model container, Smooth-On measuring cup, Sonite™ Wax, 2'' x 3.5'' wooden dowel, OOMOO™ 30 Silicone Rubber, Smooth-On Golden Paraffin Blend, wicks.

2 - Items not included in the kit, but needed: brush, water, safety goggles, thermometer, utility knife, double boiler, mixing sticks, oven mitt, nail, foil, mixing cups and hot glue gun.

3 - The aluminum foil is measured out to a sheet of 16 x 12 inches (40 x 30 cm) and folded into quarters to hold the model during the mold making process.

4 - Recommended: Wear protective gloves and glasses.

5 - Use the glue gun to put some glue on the bottom of the dowel.

6 - Firmly press the dowel onto the center of the foil base for one minute.

7 - Once glued down, seal the top and sides of the dowel with Sonite™ Wax.

8 - Use the hot glue gun to seal at the juncture where the tube and foil meet. This will prevent the liquid rubber from escaping.

9 - Pour 5.5 oz \ 162 ml. Part A into the measuring cup.

10 - Pour 5.5 oz. / 162 ml. Part B into the measuring cup.

11 - Equal amounts of Part A and Part B equal 11 oz.

12 - Mix thoroughly; scrape the sides and bottom of the container many times until color of rubber is uniform.

13 - Double mix and pour. Pour the OOMOO® into a second container and mix some more.

14 - Pour the rubber at the lowest point in the acrylic tube and let the rubber flow around the model.

15 - Let rubber flow up and over the top of the model by 1/2'' (1 cm).

16 - Wait at least six hours for the OOMOO® 30 rubber to cure.

17 - After 6 hours, remove the foil from the model base.

18 - Remove Clear Tube - Carefully cut in a straight line down acrylic tube ...don't cut yourself!

19 - Slowly peel the plastic away from the rubber mold.

20 - Remove the wooden dowel model from the OOMOO® rubber mold.

21 - Trim any excess rubber from the rim of the mold.

22 - Turn your attention to the double boiler, water and hot plate.

23 - Pour 1 inch of water into the bottom of the larger pan.

24 - Place the smaller top chamber of the double boiler in place.

25 - Pour 1/2 of the bag (about 16 oz. ) of wax beads into the double boiler.

26 - Set the double boiler on high.

27 - Put the lid on and allow to come to 180°F/82°C.

28 - When the wax beads melt and change from opaque to translucent in appearance, insert the wax thermometer to verify the temperature. The ideal pouring temperature of the liquid wax is 180­°F / 82°C.

29 - The wick is six inches (15.25 cm) long with a metal base. The mold cavity is 3.5 in./8.89 cm. deep.

30 - Measuring the wick - center the metal wick base in the bottom of the mold. Wrap excess wick around a nail or similar object (pencil) and eliminate residual. Rest nail over mold opening making sure that the wick is centered.

31 - Securing the wick base to the bottom of the mold: Immerse the metal base base in the hot wax. This will secure it to mold bottom and hold it in place while wax is poured.

32 - Secure metal base in bottom of mold. Rest nail over mold opening, making sure it is centered.

33 - The mold is ready for the wax pour. Pour the wax carefully to avoid disturbing the nail or spilling wax.

34 - Let the wax cool for two hours. As the wax cools it will shrink and form a depression around the wick. Cut with scissors leaving 1/2'' (1 cm) of wick over the top of the mold.

35 - Bring the wax back up to melting / pouring temperature and fill the depression (top off the mold). Let the wax cool for two hours.

36 - The finished candle is removed from the mold.

37 - The candle is now ready to be enjoyed. Your OOMOO™ 30 mold can be used to cast hundreds of candles.

38 - You can use OOMOO™ 30 mold rubber to make a mold of almost any original. Candle styles are endless.
