The major asset of latex molds is their ability to produce candles in a huge variety of shapes and a great precision in the details. This is something a metal or polycarbonate mold just can't offer.
And what makes them really attractive is that they're easy to make yourself with very limited supplies, available in almost any Do-It-Yourself superstore!

Less than four years after its creation, Bougies.info, the french version of this site, has become THE reference for all french-speaking candlemakers.
Today we're proud to introduce HowtomakeCandles.info, aimed at our fellow english-speaking candlemakers from the United States, the United Kingdom or elsewhere.
We hope you'll find the site instructive and useful and thank you for your patience while the articles are progressively translated into english.

The Candlemaker's Companion, by Betty Oppenheimer
Nothing less than a fabulous book for the more "advanced" candlemakers or for those who want to dig deep into the subject.
The author, Betty Oppenheimer, thoroughly explores all candlemaking topics and often makes use of chemistry and history to give away as much explanations as possible.
This book is about more than just candles: you'll also learn how to make your own candle molds and other items related to candles and candlemaking.
Essential on your bookshelf!!!
Caution though: if you're looking for a projects book, this one is not recommended.
