Use silicone molds: beeswax tends to stick to rigid molds (polycarbonate, plastic), and metal molds need a release agent. Pour at about 70–75°C, let it cool slowly to avoid cracks, and top up the sinkhole around the wick with a second pour.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContainer candles—possible, but demanding.\u003c\/strong\u003e Pure beeswax pulls away from the glass as it shrinks (wet spots), tends to tunnel because its melt pool forms slowly, and needs a noticeably larger wick. It works best in small to medium containers. For wider containers, use several wicks or blend 20–50% beeswax with soy, rapeseed, or coconut wax. Pre-warm the glass for better adhesion, keep the fragrance load moderate (typically 3–6%) with scents that pair well with honey, and always run full burn tests.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWax melts—not recommended at 100%.\u003c\/strong\u003e The melting point (62–65°C) is too high for many tealight and low-wattage electric warmers, so the wax may not melt fully and the scent throw is weak; unrefined yellow wax can also leave residue in the dish. Instead, add 5–20% beeswax to a vegetable wax melt blend (e.g. \u003ca href=\"\/products\/elite-660-coconut-rapeseed-for-waxmelts-pillar\"\u003eELITE 660\u003c\/a\u003e) for harder melts, less fragrance seepage, and cleaner release from clamshells.
