This tall taper candle mould is designed for makers who want consistent results and a traditional candle profile. The clear plastic construction allows you to monitor wax levels during pouring and cooling, helping you achieve a smooth, even finish every time.
With a finished candle height of approximately 26cm, this mould is perfect for dinner candles, table settings, church candles, and decorative displays. It works particularly well with beeswax or beeswax/soy blends, producing a firm candle that releases cleanly once set.
Each mould includes a small wick hole at the base for easy wick placement and accurate centring.

Wax Recommendations
- For best results:
- Pure beeswax
- Beeswax / soy blend (recommended 50:50)
- Paraffin or pillar wax
- Pure soy wax alone is not recommended, as it can be too soft and difficult to release without chilling.
How to Use
- Thread the pre-waxed wick through the small hole at the base of the mould
- Seal the wick hole with bluetack or similar pliable material
- Secure the mould upright
- Pour melted beeswax at about 75-80°C. The hollow formed as the wax cools can be topped up with fresh wax.
- Allow to cool fully (approx. 4 hours)
- Gently tap the mould on a flat surface or a sharp tap with a hand to release the candle. A short while in the freezer will help stubborn candles.
If using high soy content wax, brief refrigeration (15–20 minutes) can help with release or you could give the tube a light spray of silicone release before wicking and pouring.
