Candle mould & wind guard cup, clear PC, 50 x 60 mm

A breeze drifts across the patio, yet you still want a warm, flickering light. With these wind guard cups, you pour your pillar candles straight into a clear sleeve. Later, that sleeve protects the flame from draughts. The round polycarbonate mould is both mould and shield. It's made for your next candlelit evening. You pour in the wax and set the wick in place. The result is a candle that turns out just the way you pictured it.

What changes for you

• You pour your candles without transferring or reworking them. The cup is both the mould and the finished plastic sleeve.
• Your wick stays centred while you pour. A stop in the base holds wicks with metal tabs in position.
• Your candles come out in an even, classic round shape. This works even when you pour larger batches for a celebration or as gifts.
• You can let your candles burn outdoors even in a light breeze. The clear sleeve shields the flame.
• You can plan your wax without guesswork. The maximum fill volume of 114.30 cm³ gives you a clear guide.

Why these wind guard cups make a difference day to day

Home-poured candles often fail on the small things. The wick slips, the mould is hard to release, and the finished candle stands unprotected in a draught. The wind guard cup removes these hurdles. You pour, let the wax set and simply put the candle out as it is. That makes candle making more relaxed. It doesn't matter whether you're melting wax for the first time or regularly making whole batches.

Material & finish

The cups are made of polycarbonate (PC). This is a tough, clear plastic that keeps its shape and lets you see the candle. Clean manufacturing means the wax flows in evenly. The finished candle looks neat. The stop in the centre of the base is designed for wicks with metal tabs. It reliably holds them straight while you pour. Made in Germany.

How to use the wind guard cups

• Candle making at home: melt leftover or fresh wax, set the wick in the stop and fill up. Once the wax has set, the candle is ready to use straight away. There's no need to remove it from the mould.
• On the patio or balcony: the clear sleeve protects the flame from draughts. Your cosy evening outdoors doesn't end with the first gust of wind.
• In restaurants and cafés: evenly poured candles in an identical shape keep every table set the same way. With set sizes of up to 1,000, you can prepare them in batches.
• For craft afternoons and gifts: pour your own candles together with children or friends, for example with layers of coloured wax. Each one becomes a personal little gift.
• At the weekly market or farm shop: home-poured candles in a clean, uniform sleeve look tidy on the counter. They can also be stacked safely for transport.

Good to know about candle making

Polycarbonate is known as a particularly break-resistant and crystal-clear plastic. That's why it's used wherever clarity and strength are both needed. For you, this means the cups stand up to frequent handling while pouring and to use outdoors. They don't turn cloudy or shabby.
