Hurricane Candles

[burnsv1]

I've been researching making hurricane candles.  Can anyone recommend the best place to purchase the mold (and insert) and wax?  What is the best wax choice for making these?  Thank you.

I've never made them, but I know you use a high meltpoint paraffin wax, 150-160dF.

Well I got my molds from peak candle supply. But of course they closed a few months back. But they are supposed to reopen not sure when.

I got my molds from Peak, but pretty much any large round mold can be a hurricane mold. I personally don't use the insert. Found it to be more of a pain than any help, however, I only make the "Forever Memory" hurricanes, with a picture insert, and with those types, the insert would just get in the way...

According to Aztec, you can get the mold and insert from them -

@AjahPeak is not going to reopen. Not sure where most of their supplies went or are going, but all of there scents were sold along with the manufacture codes, to Keystone Candle Supply.
