Candle Making Molds – Important Concepts
Most candle makers find using molds the simplest yet most versatile way to make candles. Using a mold, a candle can be made in virtually any shape imaginable.
There are two characteristics of a potential mold that need to be considered when evaluating a candle making mold and shape. Candle makers refer to these concepts as draft and undercut.
Let’s talk about draft first. Draft is the degree of taper in a mold. Without the taper, it would be difficult or impossible to remove the candle from a solid mold.
Molds with parallel sides also work because wax shrinks enough as it cools to allow it to slide out of the mold.
The other concept is undercutting. You can think of undercutting as any part of the shape that would keep the finished candle from sliding out of the mold. You have probably seen candles shaped like Christmas trees. All those branches represent undercuts.
If the form you want to make has undercuts, you can’t use a one-piece solid mold. Fortunately, there are a couple of options. One approach is to use a mold that separates into two or more parts. The other is to use a mold made out of a flexible, stretchable material.
Symmetrical objects are usually casted for candle making using a two-part mold. You could also use a flexible mold, but it isn’t required for this type of shape and rigid multi-part molds are more durable. In use, the candle maker clamps the pieces of a multi-part mold together, seals the seams to keep wax from leaking and then uses it as if it were a one-piece mold.
As I mentioned, you can also deal with undercutting by using flexible molds, which can be stretched to allow the candle to be removed once it has hardened. These molds are often made of silicone or rubber or other plastic materials.
