It worked, thanks, I wish I had thought of that going to try again except grease the mold this time

Hmmmm...can you turn on your oven to the lowest setting and put the mold in there? or even use a double boiler to melt around the outside and slide it out that way?

The oven thing is a really good idea. I am going to try that

I don't use beeswax but with paraffin you can stick the mold in the freezer for 5 minutes and it will shrink enough to slide out.

Again, not sure about the beeswax tho....

Oh yea, I forgot to mention I put it in the freezer for a bit. It clearly shrank a bit, but it still won't come out. I left it in the freezer for like half an hour too...

I am clearly a n00b, so I used a metal mold with beeswax (and didn't grease the mold or anything), and now it is entirely stuck in the mold. I have pulled the wick (which broke), smashed it against the counter, thrown it on the ground, and only chunks have broken out. I have given up trying to salvage the candle, and will likely just start over again if/when I get the wax out. Any suggestions? This is really annoying and I hope I didn't just waste expensive beeswax and ruin a mold...
