Choosing the Right Latex Candle Mold
When choosing a latex candle mold, consider the size and shape of the candle you want to create.
Look for molds that are made of high-quality latex to ensure durability and easy release of the finished candle.
Consider the design of the mold and how it will enhance the overall appearance of your candle.
You can find a variety of latex candle molds in different shapes and sizes to suit your preferences.
Preparing Your Work Area
Before you start using latex candle molds, make sure to clean and organize your work area.
Clear any clutter and ensure you have enough space for the molds and supplies.
Cover your work surface with a protective layer such as wax paper or plastic to prevent any spills or wax drips from damaging the surface.
Gather all the necessary materials and tools, including the molds, candle wax, a double boiler or melting pot, a thermometer, and any additives or fragrance oils you want to use.
Melting the Candle Wax
To melt the candle wax, use a double boiler or a melting pot specifically designed for candle making.
Fill the bottom pot with water and place it on the stove over medium heat.
