I'm looking for silicone that's flexible and lasts many pours. I will be using the mold to make wax candles.

Not sure if you're going to find a 'resonably' priced silicone... But Smooth-On, Polytek, and several others. Does it have to be yellow or purple? Polytek has a shore 20 that is violet (purple), easy to use 1:1 mix ratio, platinum based - won't shrink as much as tin based. 71-20 is the part number on it. Depending on your candles and how you are making the molds, you might need something softer, which for Polytek silicone would knock you out of the color you're looking for. I think their softer one, 71-10, is pink. Good luck.

PS- Ask whoever you end up calling if they have a distributor closer to you so you don't have to pay as much for shipping.
