Parle-G Biscuit Candle Silicone Mould | 5x3.5cm | Pack of 1 - Novelty Candle

Overview

Cast the biscuit everyone grew up dunking in chai, in wax rather than glucose. The cavity carries the scalloped border and the raised lettering across the face, so a golden tan wax pour comes out reading as the real thing at a glance. It measures about 5 x 3.5 cm, which is close to the biscuit itself and small enough to perch on the rim of a jar candle or sit in a gift box beside a chai scented pour.

Specifications

Ideal For

• Sellers building a nostalgia or chai themed range
• Beginners, since a shallow flat cavity is easy to pour
• Soap makers who want embossed lettering
• Resin hobbyists making food shaped charms

Creative Uses and Project Ideas

Perfect for:

• Chai and nostalgia themed candle gift sets
• Biscuit toppers perched on jar candles
• Cafe counter and food stall displays
• Melt and pour soap shaped like a biscuit
• Resin fridge magnets and keychain charms

Compatibility

Works with: soy wax, paraffin wax, beeswax, gel wax, epoxy resin, plaster of Paris, and melt and pour soap base.

Pairs well with: cotton and pre waxed wicks, candle dyes and colour chips, fragrance and aroma oils, wick stickers and wick holders.

Not suitable for: food use, since no food grade rating is stated for this mould. Not for oven baking, direct flame, or use as a burning vessel. Do not cut or trim wax inside the mould with a blade.

How to Use

1. Wash and dry the new mould before the first pour.
2. Sit it flat and level so the biscuit face sets even.
3. Melt the wax, colour it a golden tan off the heat, and let it cool a little.
4. Pour slowly along the length of the cavity so the scalloped border and the lettering fill.
5. Tap the tray firmly, since the raised lettering is where air likes to sit.
6. Let it set fully at room temperature so the detail stays sharp.
7. Peel the silicone back from one corner rather than pushing on the printed face.
8. Fit a small wick, or leave it wickless and use it as a topper on a jar candle.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many moulds come in this pack?

One. It is a single mould with one cavity measuring about 5 x 3.5 cm, which casts one biscuit per pour.

How is this different from the Oreo biscuit mould?

This one is a single rectangular mould at 5 x 3.5 cm with a scalloped border and raised lettering. The Oreo mould comes as a set of two round moulds at 4.2 cm with an all over embossed face. Choose this for a rectangular biscuit and a lower price, or the Oreo set when you want a matching pair.

Can I use it for resin and soap as well as candle wax?

Yes. The flexible silicone takes epoxy resin, plaster and melt and pour soap base along with wax. No food grade rating is stated for this mould, so keep it for craft casting rather than anything edible.

Will the lettering come out readable?

It will if the wax has cooled slightly and you tap out the air. The letters are shallow, so wax poured very hot runs thin over them and blurs the edges as it shrinks back.
