MasterBaker2 Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I ordered a bunch of these molds and am just now starting to recieve them. Probably a pretty stupid question and one I should of thought about before ordering, but how do you use these? Should I make special mold holders for each one or does anyone out there have suggestions on an easier way? Thanks in advance for the input.:undecidedThank you for the responses, but I think maybe I didn't phrase the question well enough. I should add that these molds don't have bases on them and are flat bottomed not concave. I thought that the wick pins might stabalize the mold from tipping over during the pour, but they still don't seem that safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelley Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I use wick pins. Just drop them in and your ready to go. ( I plug the hole in the bottom just in case, found that out the hard way!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinMom Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I use wick pins too but make sure you plug the bottom of the mold with some mold sealer or you will have wax everywhere......not funJenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsvlbrat Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I think it's always a good idea to place the molds in a tray (in case they leak). If you use wick pins, place them on the outside of the mold with some sort of sealer around the pin. There are several examples off to the left side where is says Basic Instructions. HTH - look forward to seeing pictures! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I thread my wick pins through the outside, so putty around the pin and press to the bottom of the mold. Straighten pin if need be. If you're looking to put these into a water bath, you'll have to weight from the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkpk Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Thanks for asking this question. I'm new to candle making and did the same thing. I have been searching the web for an answer and now I found some. I never thought of how to keep them flat either - maybe we just were too excited to get started. Thanks for the tips.Melanie:yay: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
