Custom Candles

Step 7 Remove the mold

When the wax has fully hardened, you can gently remove the mold. Be careful with sharp edges, so you don't break off the wax.

Try to move the cardboard or foam, to see if it will come loose by itself. Then slowly break it off.

NOTE! I will never again make a candle with holes as small as the one below. The cardboard was extremely difficult to get out of the candle. Maybe if you use smoother material or something sturdy you can yank out it will work out better...

Very cool. I especially like the one with the holes through it. I bet if you used short pieces of pvc pipe lubricated with a little vegetable oil, you'd have a much easier time demolding. Copper tubing might also work.

i think it would work but would the veg oil freeze?

I sincerely doubt that it would be a problem.

but it would if you live in places that get up to 35 below 0 ;) But I live in Georgia I doubt that would be a problew either
