I am wondering if you make a loaf mold do you have to cut it to cure it? if I left it whole, how long would it take to cure? say the loaf is 2-3 pounds of soap.

If you don't cut it, the water from the middle will have hard time evaporating and your soap will be softer in the middle. I would cut it and let it cure.

Also it seems to me some colors need air exposure to really come out.
