2torial #0481: Learn2 Make Candles (Continued) Remove the candle from the mold Be patient while removing your candle, or it might be damaged by your hastiness. For paper molds such as a toilet paper core or a milk carton, simply tear the paper away from the candle.   For molds of other materials, try turning the mold upside down and tapping the bottom of the mold.   If the candle doesn't slide out, carefully insert a knife between the candle and the mold. Jiggle the knife into that space, prying very slighly (just a little bit) against the side of the mold. If it still won't slip out, insert the knife into the opposite side of the mold and do some more jiggling.   If your candle still won't budge, immerse the mold in very hot water for a few seconds. This will slightly melt the outside of the candle and it should slide out. Step 9
