How Do You Make Two-Part Silicone & Rubber Candle Molds?
You can make a homemade candle mold out of rubber and/or silicone, allowing you to make as many candles as you wish. A two-part mold is advisable for candlemaking because candles can’t be removed as easily from a one-part mold. You can use this two-part mold as many times as necessary to cast wax. Make a container mold out of straight-edged scrap acrylic. Set a candle on its side on top of a table. Arrange four pieces of acrylic into a rectangular shape around your candle. Slip a bottom piece underneath the candle. Position the acrylic so that there is approximately 1/4-inch of space around the candle. Glue the acrylic together using glue from a glue gun and allow it to dry. Make sure to put enough glue on the edges of the acrylic pieces to make the mold waterproof.

Make sure there are no holes or bubbles in the clay. Pr
