A practical tool for beekeepers and home candle makers who work with beeswax and silicone molds. The 30 cm long tool significantly facilitates threading the wick through the narrow and long channel of the mold.
A handy tool for beekeepers and home candle makers who work with beeswax and silicone molds. Thanks to its 30 cm length, you can easily thread the wick through even narrow and long mold channels – you'll appreciate this especially with taller or unusually long candles. No more tedious "fishing" for the wick with wire, toothpicks, or improvised hooks, which often result in a bent wick or damaged mold.
The tool's solid body and precisely shaped tip allow you to securely catch the wick and smoothly thread it through the entire length of the mold. This reduces the risk of puncturing or tearing the silicone while protecting the mold's delicate details – which is especially important during repeated casting. The tool is excellent when you want to quickly process your own beeswax, for example into candles for markets, gifts, or for the winter season.
For beeswax candles, precise wick placement is crucial. A wick guided through the center helps ensure even burning, less smoking, and cleaner burn-down without unnecessary residue. The extended length also makes it easier to position the wick in tall and narrow molds (such as twisted candles, slender cones, or figurines), where common tools often don't reach or aren't sufficiently rigid.
