I had a wonderful visit with Michele from Hall’s Candles in Bellefonte. She showed me her work area and candle shop. A very nice candle and gift shop to visit if you are ever in the Bellefonte, PA area.
We were looking at her molds and the consistency of them. I am telling you what. I do not know how some of you candle and soap makers demold when your molds are made of rubber and a harder silicone. It made my hands ache looking at the molds.
I know there are other mold makers that have a nice flexible silicone molds and that is great when you get nice flexible molds. I couldn’t imagine using anything else, but nice, friendly, flexible silicone molds.
~Here are benefits of flexible silicone molds~
1. Happier hands
2. Saves on time
3. Needs only one person to demold
4. Does not damage (all the time~ 80-90% success rate) the final product when trying to demold
5. Saves energy and frustration
P.S. Leave any comments you may have about your mold troubles.
