Heating your moulds prior to pouring in the wax can eliminate this issue.
We microwave our moulds for 1-2 minutes (800w). Moulds should be used immediately after warming. Please be careful when handling hot moulds.
Overheating your moulds can cause degredation in the silicone drastically reducing its service life.

Ensure your moulds are clean and dry before pouring your wax.
How do I clean my moulds?
There are two options for cleaning your moulds.
1. Heat your moulds (preferably by heatgun, although a microwave may suffice) before wiping the mould with a baby wipe. Please note, no more than a few secounds is required if using a heatgun to melt any residual wax. Please be careful when handling your heated moulds.
