Help get candle out of plastic mold.? 3

Aug 31, 2008 | candle kits

Bought a candle making kit, made first one in plastic mold provided. Now I can't get the candle out. Help me I broke the wick trying to pull out. I don't want to break mold but will if I have to.
Thought about microwave but it didn't help. Soacked in hot tap water, but maybe just wans't hot enough. Will try again.
Give Heather the gold star. I put mold in freezer for 10 minutes. Took it out, gave it a whack on open end on counter, nothing. Not not to give up, took a sharp knife and poked around inside between mold and candle. Whacked on counter again, Wa-la - it came out as far as the end of the mold. Now what, can't keep whaking. so just kinda shook it up and down. It slid right out. I was so shocked, was sure the freezing wouldn't help. But it did, I'm excited, and not afraid to use the mold again.

Heather, thank you so much.

The reason the freezing works and not the heating is because wax shrinks when frozen (unlike water that will actually expand upon freezing). the colder you freeze the wax the smaller it will get. If the container it is in shrinks less than the wax when frozen, the wax will pull away from the sides and be able to be removed. Unless you heat the wax and melt it around the edge, the wax will just expand and stick in tighter in the container.

Aug 30, 2008 | making candles at home

I want to make my own soy candles to give to my grandmother. She likes the ones she gets but they are sooo expensive and she is on a budget. How can I help?

Hi To You!
I did a search for you and look what came up for starters, below!
Looks like your interest can be a lot of fun.
Hope this helps you out for a start, and have fun making some,
Dave

What would happen if I waxed my legs with candle wax and paper? 11

Aug 30, 2008 | candle kits

Would this work like it normally would with the right materials? If not, are there any materials I can use to wax my legs that I can find at home? I’m a male swimmer and I don’t want people to see me buying a waxing kit.

You’ll get sectioned ;)
