I used this mold for the first time the other day, and my soap popped out easily within 24 hours and looked nice and smooth. It was fun to try a new technique in a slab mold and I'm looking forward to soaping more often. I highly recommend this one for test batches, it's a great size.

This is great for small batches. I get 6 bars that are 2" x 3" and up to 2" thick. I use it mostly for rebatching, but I have used it for some great MP bars too! You can get 6 bars out of this mold that are the same size that you would get if you were going to use the 9, 18 or 36 bar birch molds.

I bought this mold to make fancy swirl designs. Before this mold, I had to use my wooden loaf mold, having to cut and wrap freezer paper, pouring only enough to get the thickness of bar desired and only getting 6 bars (when I usually get 14 bars if poured at the 4.5 lb. full size). Although this 6" silicone square mold can achieve this goal of making fancy swirl designs, the 6" square shape doesn't give me the size bars I sell. I can get 2 bars my normal size, but then only small bars with the rest -or- 4 square bars, which are awkward and very different from the size soaps I sell -or- all small, guest size bars.

Hi Marla! I'm sorry this mold wasn't your favorite. We've found it's great for creating square bars, as seen in this Rainbow Hearts Melt and Pour Tutorial. You may like our 10" Silicone Loaf Mold, so you can have more rectangular bars. I'll be emailing you personally to discuss this!
