Silicone Molds
Working with different mold types
1) 1) Dense, smooth silicone (blue mold in the lesson)
.
Dense, smooth silicone; easy to use and doesn’t require special techniques.
If the cut is rough, you may end up with a visible seam on the candle that will require extra cleanup.
2) Pink silicone molds
Thin, flexible silicone that flips inside out easily, so demolding is simple.
Usually do not require cutting.
3) Very stiff silicone molds (the egg mold in the lesson)
Has low elasticity, so demolding candles with fine details or thin sections is difficult. Best for simple shapes (ball, egg, cube, etc.).
Tends to adhere to crystallizing wax and can leave marks on the candle; pairs well with beeswax.
