Candle ShopBall Diameter: 3.9 in - Sphere - 30 ft. of Wick Included as a Gift - Plastic Candle molds for Making Candles

Great product for making ball shaped candles. I did have one mishap that allowed wax to leak out the sides, but it was due to my own mistake. So far, I have made about a dozen ball candles using this mold, each one coming out perfectly and easily removed from the mold. I do NOT use any kind of mold release or non-stick spray. It is not necessary if you follow the instructions carefully and observe the following:1) Make sure the mold halves are COMPLETELY and TIGHTLY joined. I press down hard on the top to make sure the joint is completely closed. Pull the string very taught, keeping the hair pin tight against the opening.2) Do NOT exceed 165 degrees for the wax being poured. I try to keep wax temperature between 140 and 150 degrees. This makes the melted wax thicker in consistency. If the wax is too hot, it's viscosity will be less and lead to the possible expansion of the mold and leakage around the middle seam. That's the mistake I made in my early attempts.3) Try not to pour the wax all the way to the top of the "funnel" opening, but keep the wax to 1/4" up into it. As the wax cools and shrinks, it makes it easier to "top it off", and definitely makes it easier to take the mold apart and release the candle.

This mold is really great! Works well and have made several candles using the mold. As in the photos, there is a slight line mid-candle where the mold comes together but it does not detract from the beauty of the round candle and the mold releases easily. Very happy with this product.

I really enjoyed the mold. It was all set up and ready to go, including the wick. Thanks for that. I was concerned wax would leak from the bottom wick hole but it did not. It did however leak from around the sides. After letting it slightly cool, i was able to peel it up and remelt it again. I placed a few rubber bands around the mold to hold it in place. No leaking on my next pours!!! I have always wanted to make circle candles and now i can.

Cool concept! There was still a faint line along the middle of the sphere after the wax solidified, but overall it looked good. Keep in mind that even though the wick hangs over the top of the mold, that it’s actually going to be the bottom of your candle.

Difficult to get out

I loved that this mold came with the wick and an instruction manual. I am a beginner candle maker and everything was extremely easy to use. My first candle turned out beautiful!

Got as a Gift for my mom and she loves it! My only warning would be to make sure to close the mold tight before pouring, we didn't notice it wasn't tight on one side so it leaked the first time. She did oil the mold and it came out perfect! We both liked that it came with free wick as well.

Very big. Should have read sizes more closely. Other than that good quality.

Solidly made mould that produces beautiful round candles. Was worried that I'd end up messing about clearing a ridge around the mould join, but no, it is quite literally seamless.
