Crafting Custom Silicone Candle Molds:
1. Designing Your Mold (5500-10000 INR)
The first step in making a custom silicone candle mold is to design the shape and size of your mold. You can use design software or unleash your artistic talents to hand-carve a unique design. Depending on your approach, you may need to invest in design tools or materials, which can cost between 5500 and 10000 INR.
2. Materials (3000-5000 INR)
To bring your design to life, you'll need high-quality silicone rubber suitable for candle making molds. You can find silicone rubber in craft stores or online marketplaces. A small mold kit typically costs between 3000 and 5000 INR. Remember, investing in quality materials is essential for a durable and reusable mold.
3. Mold Release Agent (200-300 INR)
Prevent your candle from sticking to the mold by using a reliable mold release agent. This small investment, approximately 200-300 INR, will ensure that your candles pop out effortlessly and maintain their shape.
4. Support Shell (500-700 INR)
Creating a support shell is crucial for holding the silicone mold in shape while it cures. You can use materials like cardboard or plastic for this purpose. Plan to spend around 500-700 INR on these materials.
5. Curing Time (500-1000 INR)
Silicone molds need time to cure. Depending on the type of silicone you use, curing can take 24-48 hours. During this time, you may need to maintain a specific temperature. Estimate electricity costs at approximately 500-1000 INR.
Total Estimated Cost (5500-7900 INR)
While the total cost of crafting custom silicone candle molds can vary, a rough estimate for this venture falls between 5500 and 7900 INR. Keep in mind that the size and complexity of your molds, as well as your location, can significantly influence costs.
