*** Important note from Jun, please read before buying:
I originally created these designs by hand—starting with long, skinny tapers made from my taper mold, then braiding them to achieve the shape before making the molds. It’s a beautiful process, but it’s also time-intensive.
I know many candle makers don’t have the equipment—like taper molds or a taper dipper—to easily create long, narrow tapers, and don’t have the time to braid them by hand. That’s exactly why I developed these molds: to make the whole process so much simpler and more accessible.
Whether you’re drawn to the look of braided candles or want to create your own havdalah candles, these molds give you full control. You can choose how many wicks to use ( 2 or more wicks are required for havdalah candles ), decide on the best wicking for your wax and desired burn, and move away from the typical “bonfire” burn of many traditional havdalah candles. With the right wicking, these candles can burn cleanly, evenly, and beautifully.
Please use special candle holders for these candles for a safe burn, there are havdalah candle holders for sale online and we are planing to make holder molds for these candles as well.
Wick suggestion: style 1 - for making usual tapers with 1 wick, #4/0 works well; for making havdalah candles, you can try 2 #5/0 ( tip: don’t twist the wicks, it’s best to separate the wicks a little bit)
style 2 - 2 wicks ( 2 x 3/0) works very well, thread the wicks in the mold by using the middle two holes, don’t twist the wicks. You can try 3 wicks as well.
style 3 - 2 or 3 wick is suggested.
Questions are welcome.
