EchoDone Square Tube Column Silicone Soap Candle Mold Embed Soap Making Supplies Silicone Mold for Soap

I purchased four heart molds for a Valentine's order with no real plan on what my design was going to be, other than my customer wanted heart soaps.I assembled the molds and then rubber-banded the four columns together to make them more stable when standing upright. I then placed them standing up in a tall container and stuffed paper towels around them to fill in the gap between the molds and the outer container, being careful to keep the columns as straight as possible. I poured at med-thin trace and experienced no leakage. The hearts came out perfect with minimal cleanup required.For the finished bars, I used the soap columns as embeds in a tall skinny loaf mold that's 2.25" wide. Proportionally they look good in the finished bars. However, the first batch I made I tried the 'love letter' design and the width of the loaf mold was too narrow to look like an envelope. The 2nd two batches I did different swirl variations and placed the embed during the pour. They came out fine, but I will tweak my designs next time I make them.All in all, I think the size of the heart is ok for a 2.25" wide mold, but would look better in a 2.5" or wider mold. The length can be pieced together or cut to fit any size mold. I used one of the four hearts I made to fill in the gap on the three batches of soap I made as my mold is 13" long; they came out fine.The finished size of the heart is 1" x 1" at the widest points.My recipe had 425 grams of oil with a 36% lye concentration (1.78:1). This amount was too much for the four molds. I had enough left over to make an extra single-bar soap (I think 3oz bar) which I shredded for confetti for a future batch.

This is a beautiful little heart maker but it does tend to leak out a bit while curing. I used clips to hold the edges together the second time I used this mold but it still leaked a bit. The next time I used even more clips and laid it on the other side to cure and it did just fine. It created lovely little heart soaps for decor in a bowl/use in the restrooms, for quests, etc. I do not hold it against the seller that it leaks a bit because I believe it can leak due to things we ourselves do during the process of making the soaps, the kind of soaps we are making, temperature or other unforeseen circumstances that can not be blamed on the seller.I love these little heart soaps and the mold!

I read reviews that said there were a variety of leaks and stability issues. I did not have these problems. The mold is good quality and fits snuggly in the groves even after several uses and washing. You have to make sure the mold is snapped together well and it is together everywhere. I used a cup and support to hold it upright and level. A little pre planning is all it takes. It works well with CP soap and MP soap. Over all it’s worth it and if you’re unsure of leaking throw the binder cups on it.

This heart column mold worked perfectly for what I needed it for, I made a strawberry Valentine soap!

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.

This product did exactly what I'd expect it to. It stayed together while processing and the heart shape was crisp for the most part once the soap cured. I'd recommend tapping it as your filling it to release any bubbles that might get inside the soap. It was so fun to cut into our soap and see that heart shape!

The mold is nice but it is very long & hard to keep standing straight up while wax dries. I thought about cutting the mold but I do not want to mess up the part that snaps it together. Durable, easy removal, very thick. It was just much longer than expected.

This was a super simple to use silicone mold for a heart embed for soap. It didn't need additional fasteners or anything.
