Teardrop-Scale Ball Silicone Candle Mold
Overlapping teardrop-shaped scales spread around this rounded candle in close-set rows. The pointed ends converge toward the top, creating a layered surface that looks different from a smooth sphere or a simple ribbed ball.
Design and Specifications
- Design: Rounded ball covered with overlapping teardrop scales.
- Material: Silicone.
- Included: One pink silicone ball mold.
- Not Included: Finished candles, wax, wicks or display props.
Casting and Care
Pour a wax intended for freestanding molded candles slowly to help it reach the scale tips. Let it cool completely, then peel the silicone away in small sections while supporting the raised scales.
Check the finished candle sits securely in a suitable heat-resistant holder. Test wick performance and never leave it burning unattended.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a smooth spiral ball?
No. The surface is made of distinct overlapping teardrop scales arranged around the rounded form.
Do I need to add each scale by hand?
No. The scales are shaped by the mold as part of the same casting.
How can I avoid damaging the pointed scale ends?
Cool the wax fully and peel the flexible silicone away gradually. Do not scrape or pull the casting against the mold rim.
