Frequently Asked Questions

What size candle does this mould make?
The listed size is 8x5x9.5cm (3.1x2x3.7 inch). The pack does not say whether this is the mould or the cast, so allow a little either way.

How is this different from the 3D Rose mould?
This casts a swirled pillar 9.5cm tall with roses at the foot. The 3D Rose mould casts one open rose 7.3cm across and 4cm high.

Can I use this mould for resin as well as wax?
Yes. It is listed for candle wax and epoxy resin. A resin cast does not burn, so it suits keepsakes and decor.

Silicone or polycarbonate candle mould, which should I pick?
A silicone mould like this one flexes and peels away, so it holds textured and 3D detail. A polycarbonate mould is rigid, and the candle slides out with a smooth, glossy finish. Pick silicone for shaped and textured candles, polycarbonate for plain pillars and tapers.
