Small Rectangle Silicone Soap Mold with Wooden Box DIY Handmade Loaf Mould

This soap mold is great and I was able to cut my soap into two loaves which rendered a total of 18 - 1” bars of soap. It’s very sturdy and I love that it comes with the box and lid for cover. However, it would make cleanup a tad bit easier if the lid was one that you put on from the top instead of sliding on from the side. The grooves that the lid slide into oftentimes get soap in it and that adds an extra step to the cleanup process. Nevertheless, I have purchased two of these slab molds along with a loaf mold from Nicole and will probably order more in the future. Thanks Nicole for making great quality merchandise.

Finally tried this mold after about 2 1/2 years. It makes the cutest little loaves of soap. Perfect for my experiment batches. My recipe was about 25 oz, just enough to do a little bit of a textured top and still have enough room to slide the lid closed. It made 6- 1 inch bars of soap. I sanded it a bit because there were some small splinters. Not as sturdy as some of my more expensive molds but it works just fine. May buy a couple more!

I make soap and I have tried about 4 different molds and this one seems to be the best i have used it about 6 times and there is no sign of deterioration in the wood and the silicone still intact perfectly still holds to the sides of the wood. It is very easy to get the soap out of the mold. The top piece comes in very useful. This is the best quality i have seen for a cheap price 100% going to get another one.

I would like to emphasize that I am giving this five stars because, for its price point, it's really nice. It's not fair to compare this to a handmade, durable, expensive upgrade. This is for beginners, for people on a budget. The wood isn't very thick and has some rough edges, the silicone is very thin, but that's not a bad thing, it doesn't feel like it will rip or anything. The top can be slightly tricky to put on but it does it's job. As a beginner loaf soap mold, this is really good. I primarily use it to make smaller test batches and may even buy a few more! Don't judge something made on the cheap for not being as good as the 50+ dollar version.

The Boowan Nicole small rectangle silicone soap mold is perfect for making small batch DIY soap making. The wooden box provides good support, and the mold makes it easy to remove the soap without sticking. I really liked it for the first few batches. However, after a few uses, I noticed the silicone mold stretched out of shape a bit, which made my loaf slightly uneven. I reached out to the seller directly about my concern, and I have to say their customer service was excellent—very professional, quick to respond, and extremely helpful in resolving my concern. Overall, it’s a good product with fantastic support from the company.

Today, I finally unboxed my 4 Nicole soap molds I bought about 3 weeks ago. I received them about 5 days ago. Upon inspection they are fantastic. That is the reason for my 5 star rating. They seem to be well made with dove tailed ends and on the smaller 1 pound loaf mold it has 1 hole in the bottom to help extract the insert after the soap has hardened. The liner is really nice. It is thick but flimsy enough to be able to peel back from the soap. The top is a sliding top which is nice to help preserve heat but protect from anything that might be flying around in the house. But if you're a soap maker you know you should completely cover that box with lots of towels to allow it to slowly cool to prevent cracks from forming in the top of the soap. Aaaaand back to the molds... The wait is worth it... The packages have to go through customs but they're packaged well and they have some super strong tape. This afternoon I plan to make several batches of soap and will update on the quality, soap removal and how well the boxes held up against being moved around and the batch holding up to being poured in the molds. **UPDATE** 3 days later... The molds are fabulous. They did very well and the crisp edges to the soap are what I was looking for. Just know...if you have a super thick soap base you will need to tamp the molds down on a sturdy hard surface to help release air bubbles. I did it still with my thinner soap base and I didnt have issues.

Love this mold! It allows a full gel phase. It holds about 16-18 oz of oils - depends on if you want a higher top or not. I use about 16oz when I want to slide it shut for gel phase, I also cover with a towel to help it along a little. Overall this is a really great starter mold. I get about 7 2.5 - 3 oz soaps out of it. Def recommend! Oh, i guess the only down side is just treat it nice! I'm not sure how resilient the wood case is but its been doing fine for me and i have made 5 batches of soap in it so far for my aspiring small soap business. P.s. use a bit of sodium lactate to help it release from the mold even easier.

So I probably should've read the description for the small mold better, although i think the description isn't entirely accurate either. I assumed this was a standard sized 2 pound loaf mold, and the seller lists it as a 32oz mold, but plugging the provided dimensions into soapcalc, it holds 27.5 oz, which is a sizeable difference. Not the end of the world, but something to be aware of. I like the concept of the sliding lid. I figured it would make it easier to gel my soap. In practice, I wasn't as impressed and maybe should've gone with one of the mass produced loaves you simply place the lid on top of. My first time using it, I plugged 32oz in, and overpoured a bit on accident while designing at medium/thick trace. I have arthritis and my hands tend to shake, and for that reason alone, maybe I should've reconsidered the design choice with my personal limitations. Soap got stuck in the crack, and since I was doing a spoon plop and my soap was already in the mold, it was difficult to clean while finishing my design without ruining it. I managed to get enough soap out to slid the lid on, and while doing so, noticed splinters falling in my soap. For this reason alone, I'll never do another textured top with this mold and will probably try and underpour by an ounce or so, if I use it again. I will say, I'm relatively new to using a loaf mold, it's possible my issues are user error. Usually I use my 16oz bakers mold, individual cavities, or 32oz cream cartons. Maybe it's an issue that I'm just not familiar enough with, but yeah... this mold is very splintery, for lack of a better word. Half of the bottom on the inside looks unfinished, while the other side has glue. E Its even more splintery than my other mold. From the start, I had trouble getting the lid into the track, because the lid was "frayed," and it hasn't gotten much better over the 3 batches I've made. While the price was comparable to similar sized molds, the seller seems to specialize more in soapy stuff, so I expected a bit more. I will say, the holes on the bottom are an excellent design choice for unmolding. The liner is transparent and relatively thick, and definitely better quality than the flimsy purple or pink ones I've seen. Because of the unusual size, I made my own divider super easily with the Amazon box this arrived in, and barely had to cut it. It's not a bad mold perse, I'm just not sure it's the best choice for someone like me, who is unaccustomed to wooden molds, and has shaky hands that almost guarantee I'll spill soap between the liner and mold, or in the lid's track.

Me llegó perfectamente embalado. Gran calidad tanto en la caja exterior de madera, como en el molde de silicona. Todo ajusta perfectamente. Molde profesional sin ninguna duda.

Sehr gute Seifenform, top Qualität, ich habe aber an einer Längsseite noch ein 3mm dünnes Plattenstück eingelegt, damit die Silikonform nicht ausbeult, für meinen Geschmack hat sie etwas viel Spiel. Das Silikon an sich hat eine vernünftige Stärke, ca 4mm, die Seife lässt sich mit etwas Übung trotzdem gut ausformen, man sollte die Seife aber vorher gut aushärten lassen. Die Form ist nicht gerade billig, angesichts der Profi Qualität, der wahrscheinlich hohen Lebensdauer und der Größe der Form (ich verwende sie für eine Gesamtmenge von über 2000g Seifenleim) ist der Preis völlig OK. Ich kann die Form jedem Seifensieder nur empfehlen.

Valido e ben fatto, ho provato anche il contenitore in forno. Le piccole dimensioni permettono di fare una quantità contenuta di sapone.

Fantastic product and great value

Mejor compra imposible!!!!!!! No solo compre este de 5kg, también aproveche y compre 5 más de otros tamaños. El molde de silicona facilita el desmoldamos, se lava fenomenal, incluso en el lavavajillas. Estoy pensando en comprar más!!!!!!
