Watch This Before Buying Beeswax Candle Molds: Unmolding Beeswax Candles

[@agmiller5232]

I find that the tin tapers release easier if you first push down on the candle to free it from the sides, then pull it up by its wick tail to remove it.

Where did the nativity scene molds come from?! Those are incredible!

Do you have experience with a wooden mold for a thin, flat ornament?

[@thehoneycompany]

We have used carved flat wooden molds before for ornaments. They work, as long as you coat the inside of the mold with mold release. (We have also tried olive oil, which didn’t work for us.) Where possible, I prefer polyurethane or silicone flat molds to wood. Being able to bend the mold helps a TON when removing the wax.
