Please help me find this long tapered pyramid candle mold

February 6, 2023 2:52 AM

Been turning the world upside down. Must be exactly this type - metal. If it makes things easier - the screen shot was from someone in Bolivia. Not plastic or silicon, metal and must be at least 8 inches. Thank you for your courageous and kind help.

Best answer: Looks easy enough to build (4 straight sides), or commission its construction? Presumably made out of tin, so maybe try cold calling (er, cold emailing?) Etsy shops that make and sell tin molds? My guess would be that any tinsmith knows how to make a candle mold, and my second guess is that if you were to hand them a simple sketch of the final candle you want with some dimensions, they would be able to bang out a mold very quickly. Maybe more expensive in the end than what you were hoping, but a bird in hand is better than two in a bush. Good luck with the search!

Best answer: Found this one; not sure if the corners are a dealbreaker.
