*** This listing is for one homemade silicone taper candle mold with single cavity. ( no wick hole, but I marked the center on both ends)
*** tips to make good tapers with this mold:
1. Make sure your wick is centered, line up your wick with the center of the bees.
2. Beeswax is recommended, because wax shrinks and the center part cools slower, the candle will get slightly bowed, after removing your candle, simply reshape it by pressing down on a hard flat surface to straighten it out.
3. Do not pour too hot, or the candle May break ( suggest to pour around 170 F )
*** Finished candle size: about 11.5” tall, the flower is about 7/8” wide, the base is about 3/4” wide , each candle weighs about 3 ozs.
My testing candle burnt about 14 hrs.
*** Tools you may need to make candles: wicking needle, toothpick, wick pins / hair pins.

***Wick suggestion: square braid #3/0
Not suggest for container soy wax which may stick to silicone and it would be too soft to get the candle out.
Note: This is a handmade product, I won't be able to guarantee that every mold would look exactly the same.
Questions are welcome.
Thanks for looking.
