Candlemaking

Do you have spare beeswax that you would like to use to make beautiful candles?  Hive World has some lovely silicon rubber moulds for you to try.  These moulds will last you for years with care and you will be proud of your product.  We also stock the correct wick to use and wick holders to hold the wick firm and a wicking needle to push it through the hole in the mould.  Our bain-maries come in two sizes – 1.3L and 2.8L and are ideal for melting your beeswax safely and pouring the wax into the moulds.

Easy Instructions:

1. Melt the wax in your wax melting pot.  Prepare your mould by inserting the wick cut to the right length.
2. Position the rubber bands around the mould to hold it together correctly.
3. Wrap the wick around the wick holder to hold it firm.
4. Pour the wax.
5. Let stand at room temperature for at least 2 hours until the candle has set.  Then carefully trim the wick.  Remove rubber bands and carefully open mould being careful not to rip it further than it is split already.
