Hexagon candle mould 45x100mm 001385

A hexagon candle mold measuring 45x100mm would produce candles with six sides and dimensions of approximately 45mm (1.77 inches) across each side and a height of 100mm (3.94 inches). Hexagon-shaped candles can add a visually interesting touch to your candle-making projects and make lovely decorative items or gifts.

Here are 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.
2. Wicking: Place a suitable wick in the center of the mold. Ensure the wick is straight 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. Follow safety guidelines for handling hot wax and ensure you have enough wax to fill the mold adequately.
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 careful not to add too much fragrance oil, as it can affect the quality of the candle.
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.
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.
8. Trim the Wick: Trim the wick to the desired length, leaving about ¼ inch above the surface of the candle.
9. Final Touches: Your hexagon-shaped candle is now ready to use or decorate as desired. You can leave it as is for a minimalist look or decorate it with ribbons, charms, or other embellishments.

With 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 special occasions.
