Pointed candle mould - 350 x 30 mm

The 350 x 30 mm recycled polycarbonate pointed candle mould is ideal for creating slim, slender candles with a clean, even finish. Thanks to its rigid, transparent structure, it produces moulded candles with a professional finish, perfectly smooth and well shaped.

Made from recycled polycarbonate, this pointed candle mould combines strength, durability and precision. It stands up to repeated use and makes it easy to check the filling when pouring the wax.

The mould is supplied with a metal needle to keep the wick centred during manufacture. To ensure a good seal, we recommend using sealing paste or a suitable plug.

This mould is not suitable for making beeswax candles.

The advantages of recycled polycarbonate for your moulded candles

Polycarbonate is particularly popular for making moulded candles thanks to its rigidity and precision. Unlike soft moulds, it holds the shape of the candle perfectly and guarantees a uniform result.

This material offers a number of advantages:

• A smooth, shiny final surface
• Excellent shape retention during cooling
• High strength for repeated use
• Good visibility of the casting thanks to the transparency of the mould

For optimum demoulding, it is important to respect the manufacturing temperatures and the cooling time of the wax.

Instructions for moulding your pointed candles

Preparing and melting the wax

Melt your wax in a suitable container until it reaches 80-90°C, checking the temperature with a thermometer. Properly heated wax gives a smooth surface and makes it easier to remove from the mould.

Caution: never melt the wax directly in a pan or over an open flame.

Adding the colouring

If you wish to colour your candles, add a colouring powder to the melted wax, at a rate of approximately 2 to 4 g per 1 kg of wax. Mix carefully to obtain an even shade. Too much dye can affect the candle's combustion.

Installing the wick

Choose a wick with a diameter of 30 mm. Make a double knot at the end of the wick, then insert it through the tip of the mould. Tension it and secure it with the metal needle supplied to keep it perfectly centred.

The knot must properly seal the opening to prevent any wax leaking out during casting.

Pouring and filling

Pour the liquid wax into the mould. When it cools, a hollow may appear in the centre. Simply top up with a little hot wax to obtain an even surface.

Demoulding

Once the wax has cooled completely, cut the knot at the base and carefully remove the candle from the mould. If unmoulding is difficult, place the mould in the fridge for a few minutes.

Practical tips for making candles

Always work on a protected surface and make sure the mould is clean and perfectly dry before use. Check the temperature of the wax with a thermometer to ensure optimum results.

Candles should always be moulded under adult supervision. Wax vapour becomes flammable at temperatures above 180°C.
