Ok, questions are pouring in again about Silicone Molds and how they are made, and the differences. So, Lets first off make sure you read the info Steve posted in the blog a few days ago. Once you have that info I hope what I say will be clear.
In General, anyone that has the nerve to sell you a 1 piece silicone mold of a 3D figure is taking you for a ride. 1 piece silicone molds work well for embeds and flat figures and figures that do not have much detail or shape. But only multi-piece Silicone Molds can produce realistic candles.
Yes, We know all about cuts in the mold, and that argument holds some weight, however it carries NO weight or credibility with one piece silicone molds. To then "claim" you have legal rights to such a process is totally blowing smoke up your behind. The to take it one step further and tell customers you may not resell your own property is beyond the pale.
Not just tell them this, but have the power to have listings removed from ebay..... this spells disaster for any customer that works with them...... in fact, No one can forbid you from selling your legal property. Making this all worse is the fact that almost every shape and form is not their original work, in fact its been "stolen" from someone else.
Now, I debated on mentioning the name that has been passed to me many times. but to make this perfectly clear, I will name names in this case........ On ebay the sellers name is penguin-love. To someone that loves this industry and making candles this power/money hungry type of business practice is disgusting.
Why anyone would buy inferior molding procedures, along with the crazy restrictions they claim to be legal is beyond me. Not to mention a total waste of money.
We have been asked to put together and make available a list of all mold sellers that operate this way...... I am considering doing just that ONLY for the purpose of warning YOU.
Place penguin-love at the top of that list.......Avoid them!
Happy Candlemaking!
