A beginners walk through on how to use silicone molds 

my absolute pleasure to help! This is why I do what I do - :D Thanks so much for leaving such a lovely comment for me

You are so welcome! Good luck ♡

You are so welcome! I am glad you found this video before your mould got messed up and made you sad :D Let me know if I can help with anything else

You are most welcome Gina! If you need any help, just comment on any of my videos and I will be happy assist :) Happy making!

HAHA!!! :D :D I think the newer the mould the harder it is to unmould it at first! I will still make the video of unmoulding the skull candles, just so you can see. I just need to wait for a day my little daughter is at school so I can film without her singing in the background or yelling at me :D

@Sixth_Spice Okay awesome!! I'll keep an eye out for it! Thanks so much!!😊

@@WitchyMysticDivine I finally got it made, I am not sure if you saw it yet so here is the link. I hope it helps :D ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yHp3_gA3GsA.html

Yes that's definitely another way to do things - thanks for sharing :)

HI Witchy Mystic Divine!!! Thank you for bringing to my attention that I mentioned that (and forgot)! I will make some skull candles right now and make a video specifically how to unmould them. Until then ... I have this unmoulding video that you can watch - but you do not need to cut your skull candle moulds, like I mention in this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2kYqUeMiKa4.html Here is another unmoulding video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dVisGd1ldKQ.html If there is anything else that I can help you with please let me know

My pleasure 😊

You are right some moulds really do not do well with heat. The freezer does work well especially for acrylic moulds :)

@@Candle_Making_With_Jes I know from experience lol

@@luminarygoddess8642 🤣 how many moulds did you ruin?

@@Candle_Making_With_Jes 2 but I managed to salvage the good one and trimmed off the blob 😂

@@luminarygoddess8642 I wonder what they were made out of because silicone isn't supposed to melt until 400°c and I doesn't melt it just kind of combusts. Wierd

You can try it but if it doesn't work get some blue tackle, it's pretty cheap

Yes ACS wicks are made of cotton with a wax coating

You are welcome! Happy making! Let me know if you need any help :)

Yes it's crystal palm wax :)

Awesome! Best of luck to you! Have fun :)

Thanks for the tip! That would be kinda messy though don't you think? I don't like mess very much :)

Go ahead and try it. Clay would work, just not sir dry clay 😆😅

Blue tack 😁

@@Candle_Making_With_Jes thank you

@@jammijam_ you are very welcome 😊

Thanks for your feedback - I have bought a new mic so future videos should be better :)

How hot do you pour you wax? Blue tack has worked for me for the last 5 years of candle making 🙂

@@Candle_Making_With_Jes VERY hot. The wax I'm using changes colour quickly so if I'm not quick it gets a weird layer of colour on the bottom. So Blue tack didn't work for me😔 But I make glass candles not silicone so probably becz the glass stays hot for a while the blue tack melts or smt I've never used a mould like this but I'm planning to buy some. So maybe blue tack will work on those! Edit: I used blue tack to balance the wick when I do multicoloured layers. Yk those that you lean the glass on one side

@@yeemint4568 yes it would be because of the glass staying hot. The silicone moulds don't really get hot so the bluetack works for them. What do you use for the glass moulds?

@@Candle_Making_With_Jes I made a small diy rack kinda thing with popsicle sticks. It's so ugly but it works so... 😁 I don't have an aesthetically pleasing workstation. It's always so messy with old wax everywhere. But my candles are always nice and clean 😌👌

@@yeemint4568 hey whatever works! My workspace is clean for when I film, when I am making candles there is always a bit of wax that gets away! 😂

Hi there can you explain a but more about what is not working for you so I can see if I can help you out :)

@@Candle_Making_With_Jes That blue stuff is not staying...maybe I used the wrong product...I used lock tite fun tack.....when that didn't work I used play dough which did work..I think...Im not even sure of that because the hole I put in the mold is apparently too small...so when I pulled the wick through I had to pull hard and it damaged the candle ...(this is my first time making a candle...so...lol--)

What type of wax goes in these molds

I use palm wax in the video but you can use a pillar blended soy wax or paraffin wax

Hi again, so first just make the hole your wick goes through a bit bigger so you don't have to pull so hard and here is a video talking about the blue fun tack and ideas on how you can get it to work for you - sorry it took me so long to get this made up for you, here you go: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--e5mOGEZCDs.html Please let me know if you are still running into problems with it :)

Thanks for watching
