Product detailed description

What you can create with the mould

Striking spherical candle holders – clear, marbled, with glitter or natural inserts (dried flowers, leaves, pebbles). A centrepiece for tables, shelves and gift sets.

Why choose this mould

• Glossy finish straight from the mould – minimum sanding and polishing.
• Flexible silicone for easy removal, even with larger castings.
• Precise cavity for a standard tea light candle in a metal cup.
• Reusable and easy to maintain.

How to cast without bubbles

1. Preparation: rinse the mould with lukewarm water and mild soap, and dry without any fibre residue.
2. Mixing: prepare the resin according to the instructions, mix slowly and scrape the walls of the cup.
3. Pouring: Pour in a thin stream along the side of the mould; for larger volumes, feel free to pour in layers.
4. Curing: observe the recommended times and temperature for your epoxy resin.
5. Finishing: after removal, the bottom edge can be gently chamfered and polished if necessary.

Safe use of the candlestick

• Always use a tea light candle in a metal cup placed in the prepared recess.
• Place the candlestick on a non-flammable, level surface, away from draughts and out of reach of children or animals.
• Do not leave the candle burning unattended; epoxy is not intended for contact with open flame.

Design Tips

• Marbling: gently drag two to three colours through with a skewer to create veining.
• Terrazzo effect: Mix small coloured chips into clear or milky resin.
• Natural look: try dried mini flowers, leaves or metal flakes – less is more.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: lukewarm water + mild soap; do not use abrasives or sharp tools.
• Solvents: no aggressive cleaners; use isopropanol only exceptionally and wipe quickly.
• Storage: Flat, away from sunlight and without compression – for long mould life.
