TallTayl Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Hi and welcome! I’m a beeswax person and have two main suggestions: 1) use silicone release spray every time you mold 2) do not overheat the wax. Beeswax melt temp is in the 145-150 *F range. I heat to about 155-160 and pour. Heating too hot makes it sick to molds and not shrink as required to get them out of the molds. Pouring too cold can leave “jump” lines as the wax cools quickly as the wax hits the mold while pouring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
