How to Use the Wick Hole Punch Tool for Silicone Molds
Take the guesswork out of candle-making with this
easy-to-use tool designed for silicone molds. Follow these simple steps to
create a wick hole and secure your wick before pouring.
Step 1: Prepare Your Mold
Turn your silicone candle mold upside down so the base is
facing up. Make sure the mold is clean and dry.
Step 2: Punch the Hole
Position the Wick Hole Punch Tool where you’d like the
wick to exit the base of the mold. Gently but firmly push or twist the tool
through the silicone to create a clean hole.
Step 3: Insert the Wick
Thread your wick through the newly made hole from the
bottom of the mold to the top.
Step 4: Seal the Base
To prevent wax from leaking, seal the hole around the
wick at the base of the mold using mold sealer or a small piece of soft putty.
Step 5: Secure the Wick at the Top
Use a wick bar, skewer, or clip to hold the wick taut and
upright at the top of the mold.
Step 6: Pour Your Wax
Once the wick is secured, you’re ready to pour your wax.
Let it cool completely before demolding.
