Hexagon Candle Mould – 65x70mm

A hexagon candle mold measuring 65x70mm would produce candles with six sides and dimensions of approximately 65mm (2.56 inches) across each side and a height of 70mm (2.76 inches). Hexagon-shaped candles of this size can be perfect for creating medium-sized candles suitable for various purposes, such as home décor, gifts, or special occasions.

Here are the general steps for using a hexagon candle mold of this size:

1. Prepare the Mold: Clean the mold thoroughly and ensure it is completely dry before use. Check for any cracks or damages that could affect the final candle’s appearance.
2. Wicking: Place a suitable wick in the center of the mold. Ensure the wick is straight and centered, and secure it in place using a wick holder or by wrapping it around a pencil or chopstick laid across the top of the mold. The wick should extend slightly above the top of the mold.
3. Prepare the Wax: Melt your candle wax using a double boiler or a wax melting pot. Be sure to use enough wax to fill the mold adequately, considering its dimensions.
4. Add Fragrance and Color (Optional): If desired, add fragrance oils or dyes to the melted wax, stirring gently to ensure they are evenly distributed. Be cautious not to add too much fragrance oil, as it can affect the candle’s quality.
5. Pour the Wax: Carefully pour the melted wax into the prepared mold, filling it to the desired level. Leave some space at the top to allow for shrinkage as the wax cools and contracts.
6. Cooling and Solidification: Allow the candle to cool and solidify completely. This process may take several hours, depending on the type of wax used and the ambient temperature. Avoid moving or disturbing the mold while the wax is still liquid to prevent imperfections in the final candle.
7. Removing the Candle: Once the candle has cooled and hardened, carefully remove it from the mold. You may need to gently flex or tap the mold to release the candle. Be gentle to avoid damaging the candle’s shape.
8. Trim the Wick: Trim the wick to the desired length, leaving about ¼ inch above the surface of the candle. This helps ensure a clean and even burn when the candle is lit.
9. Final Touches: Your hexagon-shaped candle is now ready to use or decorate as desired. Consider adding embellishments such as ribbons, charms, or decorative labels to enhance its appearance.

By following these steps, you can create beautiful hexagon candles using a mold of this size. Experiment with different wax types, colors, and fragrances to customize your candles to suit your preferences or the occasion.
