JoeyG Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Happy I found this forum. There seem to be lots of forums dedicated to soap makers, but not too many for candle making. What's your name? Joey How old are you? 61 Where do you live? Southern Illinois How long have you been making candles/soap/whatever? Off and on since around 2013 If candle/Soap making isn't your primary job, what do you do? My son and I create Silicone Molds for Candles, Soaps, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lived in Norcross right off Jimmy Carter, then Duluth, Snellville, and finally Sewanee. Loved it most of the time but so glad to be away from the nightmare that is Atlanta traffic! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah... gotta admit, I don't miss the traffic at ALL. We were on Beaver Ruin Road... right down the road a piece from Jimmy Carter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scented Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Welcome to the board!! How fun it must be to make molds. Do you make them for yourself or for sale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heya Scented... thank you kindly for the welcome. And yes, it actually is fun making molds. After spending years trying to find fully 3D silicone molds without any luck, we finally decided to try it ourselves. We now make them both for ourselves, and for sale. We've also created a modular process for making the molds that will allow us to insert what we call 'multipliers' between the end caps of the mold. This increases the number of cavities by the original number. So say you wanted a 4 cavity taper mold. With 1 multiplier it would become an 8 cavity mold... with 2 multipliers a 12 cavity mold... and so on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
