How To Make a Simple Silicone Candle Mold

Step 7: Casting Wax

The mold is now ready for the wax pour. Pour the wax carefully to avoid disturbing the nail or spilling wax. Wear gloves if the pot handle is hot. Let the wax cool for two hours. As the wax cools it will shrink and form a depression around the wick. Trim with scissors leaving 1/2'' of wick over the top of the mold.

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