Ribbed Sphere Candle Holder Silicone Mould | Pack of 1 - Tealight Pot

Cast a ribbed sphere with an opening sunk into the crown, so a tealight sits inside and lights the ribs from within. The white silicone mould is a single sphere with fine ribbing around the body; no size is stated. Pour resin, cement or plaster in soft whites or pastels.

Specifications

Perfect for

• White cement tealight holders
• Boho shelf decor
• Housewarming gifts
• Spa and bathroom decor

Compatibility

Works with: epoxy resin, plaster of Paris, cement, jesmonite, candle wax and melt and pour soap base.

Pairs well with: mica powder, dried flowers and tealights in their own metal cups.

Not suitable for: food or oven use, since we state no food grade or heat rating for this mould; a bare flame on a resin cast, so keep each tealight in its cup.

How to Use

1. Wash and dry the mould, then set it level on a flat board.
2. Mix your resin, cement or plaster as its maker directs and pour slowly, tapping the sides to lift bubbles.
3. Leave it to cure fully for the time the maker states; an early release tears edges.
4. Flex the silicone back from one side and lift the piece out.
