Teach Soap

im currently using silicone loaf molds and want to upgrade to a soap box with a cutter so i can get perfectly straight, measured bars.

any suggestions? i read not to use wood for melt and pour?

i dont want to spend an arm and a leg, but want something decent.

thanks <3

Someone put a pattern on here awhile back to make your own. You may want to search on the boards. They can be a bit pricey though and are a bit of a pain to deal with. I've had mixed results with mine and love my silicon mold. TO keep from having the cornered edges, I use a silicone bread mold that you can find at most kitchen shops.

hey lenoria im looking for the more cornered mold. mine are a bit rounded and they drive me nuts...

also, i was thinking it may be easier to cut with the box, every slice would be consisent then?

Hmm...I actually have silicon molds and never had that issue. They all look like small rectangles but I use a mold that makes 4 soaps for my ones with cornered edges. The big trick I have found is giving them enough time to set and pouring them on a flat surface. If you like, I could show you the mold...

I wanted to add, that I had decided on the wooden mold for my MP soaps, as I so much prefer the classic rectangle look vs the ones from most silcone molds. I really dislike the angle of the silicone loaf mold. I have also been given many silicone molds that the part that gets poured into its edges are not clean/sharp, always having a rounded appearance on 3 edges, while the top/bottom has the edges desire.

I have the mini silicone loaf mold from WSP...I like my bars to be squared too- no angles/tapering. Here is a pic of my soap loaf...everything is uniform ( and no bowing).

I found this great one on Ebay, I read the rave reviews this guy makes them.
They are mold & a cutter all in one thsi set makes 10lbs of soap. I just love mine they are sturdy & easy to clean & work with http://cgi.ebay.com/Soap-Molds-22-BAR-6 ... 230a61b570

ok, lots of things for me to ck out. i love the loaf methree made with the silicone mold. and that plastic linerless mold/cutter is awesome too.
