Clear or White plastic Molds – These are the easiest molds for a beginner to use. It comes in various geometric shapes such as cylinders, balls, pyramids or cubes. The ball and egg shapes are two part molds while the others have a simple open ends. You should not pour a heated wax above the 180F into them, or they may be damaged.

Metal Molds are durable and you can pour a hot wax into them for up to 195F for superb results. They are more expensive than plastic molds but will last a long time.

Glass molds are fragile and the shape is limited to cylinders. However, they produce candles with beautiful shiny surface.
