This made my soaping SO MUCH EASIER.Be sure to use binder clips along the sides if you're using hot process or anything viscous. Or maybe just to be safe anyway.For hot-process soap, be sure to mound it on top, because it will shrink by an inch or more at the top.If you can pour, do that, because spooning in will have some stick and cool on the sides. That will not bond uniformly to the core.Cold-Process, or melt-and-pour should work pretty easily.For MP or hot-process, expect it to cool overnight, and then you can pry open and slice with wire or whatever you like for log molds.This holds a liter, or about a kilo (about 2 pounds) of soap. Basically, about, 667 grams of oils, plus water etc, hot process evaporation. Remember, heap it on top, and as it cools, the center will sink.If you're pouring (CP, MP, Candles), then just fill it to the top, enough that you have a slight bubble on top.If only they were a little less expensive. For a simply cast silicone rubber part, they are massively overpriced, but the batches made know their market, and these pay for themselves in simplicity. I spent 2 hours making a 6 pound batch of soap. Start to finish, including cleanup day 1, and including cutting and stacking on day 2.

Got these tubes to try for my shaving pucks instead of using Food Grade PVC. These are so much easier to remove the soap than a PVC pipe. My first couple of batches, I just poured directly into the mold. There was some minor tug when removing, but as long as your soap has set you would be fine. I found, if spraying a coat of olive oil before pouring, the release is far much easier.As of now, no signs of leaks, and have allowed me to pour soaps, and remove them fairly quickly.I am concerned on the long term durability of the locking seals. I would be more comfortable if the mold was a little more rigid, as it is still somewhat flexable, but... if push comes to shove, some velcro straps can help hold the mold then.I would like to see a multi-pack of say 6 which would allow you to save on a bulk order. I do intend to buy 6 more units in the near future.

I really like this to use for a different shape of my bars of homemade soap. It's well made and I think will last for a very long time. The only problem I ran into and caused me not to give a full 5 star is when I was filling the tube with my soap product and packing the soap down the tube separated and caused a good portion of the soap to spill out. I was able to recover most of the soap so not much was lost. It was something I just didn't think about so buyer/user beware. I decided to purchase a couple types of clamps. In the picture is a regular 1/4 inch beam clamp and the black plastic clamp is a tarp hold down clamp. The strip of metal is from strap/pipe material I use around my house doing specific repair. Anyway the metal strip I will cut to length and use with the beam clamp to keep the tube from opening. This will. be the next time though. As you can see in the top left of the picture is some finished product, oatmeal, honey, tea tea tree and tamanu soap with rose fragrance I made for my wife, which turned out pretty good. The soap is hot process, which I prefer over cold. Just my preference. This is a good and useful product though.

When your using a mold this size you need it to be sturdy. It's OK and works. But I prefer a more sturdy solid mold for large projects

Easy to use like it very much
