Simple Tips for Easy Candle Mold Release
Mold release is a substance used in candle making to prevent wax from sticking to the mold. It acts as a barrier or lubricant, making it easier to remove the candle after it cools and solidifies.
Here are the main types of mold release agents you can use:
1. Release Sprays
- These are aerosol sprays specially made for candle making.
- They create a thin, even layer on the mold’s surface, helping the candle slide out easily.

2. Release Agents or Oils
- You can apply oils like vegetable oil, coconut oil, or mineral oil inside the Candle Mold.
- These oils form a barrier between the wax and the mold, making the removal process easier.
3. Paraffin Wax Coating
- Some candle makers brush a thin layer of melted paraffin wax inside the mold.
- This wax layer acts as a shield, helping the candle separate smoothly.
Important Tips for Using Candle Mould Release
- Avoid using too much: It can affect the candle’s surface appearance.
- Avoid using too little: It may not prevent the wax from sticking.
- Test first: Try the release agent on a small part of the mold to ensure it works well with your wax.
