Soap Making Molds
There are various types of soap making molds: acrylic, plastic, wooden, or just build a mold yourself! You can be very creative with soap making molds but there is a word of warning. Make sure your mold can withstand the caustic properties of lye and uncured soap. If your soap penetrates your mold, you could have a real mess! It could damage your table or counter top. So be sure to use the proper soap making equipment for making homemade soap!
You can buy molds at craft, discount, or home stores near you, find them on-line, build them yourself, or just look for something sturdy around your house!
Some soap making molds are made from tough acrylic or plastic containers. They're found in numerous sizes and shapes with, individual, plain or decorative cavities. These molds are great to use, especially, for beginners. You just pour your soap into the mold, allow drying time, and remove the bars, easily. There's no cutting or beveling required using these soap molds. They're easy and convenient to use. They are not the ideal choice for making large batches of soap, but small batches or individual soaps, instead. These soap molds are recommended to use with the melt and pour soap making method.
Wooden Soap MoldsMost soap makers will tell you they prefer to use wooden soap molds. Why? These molds can be used for making a loaf of soap. A loaf of soap is similar to the size of a bread loaf, it’s just an over-sized bar of soap. These molds may have removable ends to allow your soap loaf to slide through the mold while being cut. This is very convenient and helps for easy soap removal. Wooden soap molds help to insulate curing soap. They provide nice straight square edges. They’re handy for making large or small batches of soap. You can use your carpentry skills to build your own wooden soap mold!
