Flared Votive Mold

Product Notice: Use caution when handling votive candle molds, as the edges can be sharp.

These seamless, 15-hour flared votive candle molds are manufactured from steel and are perfect for creating your own votive candles. Each flared votive mold holds 2 oz. (57 g) of wax, yielding 8 candles per pound (454 g) of wax. Candles made with this mold typically have a burn time of 15 hours. Can be used with the Votive Wick Pin for easy wick placement.

Note: These molds are coated with oil to prevent the steel from rusting. Carefully wipe off excess with paper towel. Don't use soap and water.

For a fun walkthrough, follow the tutorial How to Make Votive Candles.

Edges can be sharp indeed.

We were warned...just sliced my knuckle open pretty good cleaning out my votive molds. I'd upload a picture if there was the ability

Great molds

Sure, when I first got them I was already aware of the potentially sharp rim and handled them appropriately. I was a little surprised by the discolorations and ignored the advise not to wash them. I used a scrubby pad with Bar Keepers Friend and scrubbed them. Then, since I did read the recommendations, I grabbed the chain oil I have for my rowing machine and with paper towels, wiped them down inside and out.

I just made 3 votives (all the pillar was I had on hand) and they are now curing. They slipped out easy peasy and will continue to keep them lubricated. I will likely go out and buy some sandpaper to smooth out the edges. All in all, they lived up to my expectations.

Worked great at first

The candles released from the votives with some effort at first, but now I have a batch of votives that I cannot remove from the molds at all. I am using 454/444 wax and I use the mold release spray. I quit washing the molds because they were starting to rust, but I think maybe wiping them out is not good enough to help them release from the containers. I really hope I can come up with an easier process, before I have to throw away this batch and give up on votives!

Love

Love these. Especially using the wick pin.. but I do have a question.. before using them I wipe alcohol around the inside.. I have some wax left over from the wick pin.. what’s the recommended way to clean the excess wax off? Also please be careful these do have very sharp edges.. oh and also it said about 15 hour burn time but I’m getting 5. Is there something I can do about that? I use beeswax coconut wax blend
Thank you

wax residue in molds

I love the votive molds and have found them very easy to use. I do use the mold release spray from CandleScience and use just a light coating. I recently had a batch of votives that released but left a lot of wax residue in the mold and the sides of the votives candles were rough. What did I do wrong - too much or too little spray? I'm using plain paraffin wax. When I cleaned the molds, they were very smooth on the inside. Do the metal molds need to be replaced periodically? Any suggestions are much appreciated!
