Using the Finished Holder Safely
The supplied images show tea lights placed inside the finished castings. If you intend to use your finished piece with a real burning candle, cast it only from a non-combustible, heat-resistant material that has been appropriately sealed and tested for candle-holder or candle-vessel use.
Ordinary decorative plaster, gypsum, resin or concrete should not automatically be assumed to be suitable for direct flame or candle heat. Material formulation, sealers, wall thickness and heat performance can all affect safety. A flameless LED tea light is an alternative for decorative castings that have not been validated for real-candle use.
The approximately 4 × 4 × 2 cm recess is provided as a dimensional reference. Tea-light dimensions vary, so check the fit of your intended candle or insert before use.
Basic Casting Guidance
- Place the selected silicone mold on a flat, stable and well-supported surface before filling.
- Prepare your casting material according to its manufacturer's recommended mixing and curing instructions.
- Fill carefully around Hebrew lettering, flame details and textured relief to reduce trapped air.
- Allow the casting to cure completely before attempting removal.
- Peel the flexible silicone progressively away from the finished holder rather than pulling forcefully around the recessed cavity or decorative details.
- Allow the finished casting to reach its required final cure before sealing, testing or using it as a candle holder.
The plaster quantities listed for each design are reference amounts shown in the supplied product images. They are not wax-fill quantities and should not be converted directly into candle-wax requirements.
Care and Storage
Clean the silicone gently after use and allow it to dry completely before storage. Avoid knives and sharp tools around the Hebrew lettering, flame motif, textured areas and inner cavity. Store the mold in its natural shape without prolonged crushing or folding.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are all seven molds included?
No. The seven styles are selectable design options. One selected silicone mold is included with each purchase.
Which designs have Hebrew lettering?
The tall cylindrical options feature שבת (Shabbat) and שלום (Shalom), while the low cylindrical holder features שבת שלום (Shabbat Shalom).
How large is the inner candle recess?
The product images show an inner recess of approximately 4 × 4 × 2 cm (1.57 × 1.57 × 0.79 inches) across the designs.
Will a standard tea light fit?
The recess is approximately 4 cm across and 2 cm deep. Tea-light sizes can vary between manufacturers, so compare the dimensions of your chosen tea light or insert before use rather than assuming a universal fit.
Can I pour candle wax directly into the finished holder?
Only if the finished vessel is made from a non-combustible, heat-resistant material that has been appropriately sealed and tested for candle-vessel use. Decorative plaster, gypsum, resin or concrete should not automatically be assumed safe for direct candle burning.
Can I use a real tea light in the finished holder?
The same material-safety considerations apply. Use a real flame only in a finished casting that has been properly made, sealed and tested for candle-holder use. For untested decorative castings, a flameless LED tea light is the safer decorative option.
What do the plaster quantities mean?
They are approximate plaster reference amounts shown in the product images for each casting design. They are not wax requirements and should not be used to calculate candle-wax quantities.
What is the difference between the two tall cylindrical designs?
The physical form is the same, but one displays שבת (Shabbat) and the other displays שלום (Shalom). Both are approximately 12 × 5 cm and use the same size inner recess.
