Very easy and cute!

VERY easy to use! I've recently started making candles and my first candles in a container were completely ruined. I then calculated the heating/pouring temperature and made my first candle in this mold and it turned out to be PERFECT. I used soy wax 444, heated it to 180°F, added fragrance oil at about 150°C and poured at 120°C. Since then I've adjusted the pouring temperature between 110-120C and it's been great. The main problem I had was waiting for my candle to go down, but I've had consistently good results by waiting at least 1 hour and 20 minutes. I'm still experimenting with colors hence some of my candles look weird. When I first needed to poke a wick hole, I used very sharp tweezers and wick or leaks were never an issue. I'm not sure why some people need a crazy wick as you can see in my picture, a popsicle stick works great and I don't use metal tongue wicks. Only once did my wax spill out and I don't know why. I've made about 20 candles from one mold and it's still in perfect condition. Each time before I pour the wax I use olive oil and rub it into the mold to separate it easily. I had to cut my nails because I kept breaking my candles while unpacking. Adding flowers is a little tricky, but if you really get them in, you can keep them out of the flames. When a candle burns for many hours, it sometimes overflows, and this is the death of the candle if left unplugged. However, removing the wax from the plate is usually very easy. The candle burned for about 4+ hours. Overall I'm very happy with this shape and it's literally my fit because now I'm going to try new ones! I recommend it to all candle makers! because now I'm going to try new ones! I recommend it to all candle makers! because now I'm going to try new ones! I recommend it to all candle makers!
