Mold Market molds are produced in United State factories. Many mold companies in the industry have moved production overseas to take advantage of low labor costs and generally cheaper production costs. We are saddened to find that some companies are advertising Made in the USA when this is not true. Mold Market elects to provide jobs to the U.S. workforce despite the competition from lower cost imports. We hope that you will support us in our effort to provide high quality designer molds for discriminating consumers desiring U.S products.

Mold size and pouring temperature of soap will determine set up time. It is imperative that you allow soap to cool completely before trying to remove from any mold. Depressions will occur in the top of mold if you try to release soap by force. Allow molded soaps to sit for at least 1 hour for best results. Gently pull the at the sides of  the mold. This releases entrapped air between the mold and soap. Using firm, but gentle pressure, push on the top of mold until soap is released. If you are still having difficulty, place mold in the freezer for 10-15 minutes.

Mold Tips for CP (cold process) soapers:

• Do not use oil in the molds, it will make the CP stick more because the traced soap wants to grab onto the oils. When you get a new mold, wash it in warm soapy water, rinse and dry with a soft towel and buff it.
• Use borax in the water before you add the lye. Add 2 tsp of Borax for every 6 oz of water, stir till it's dissolved and then add your lye to it. What this will do is firm up the CP and make releasing it a breeze.
• If the top part of the CP is hard and the bottom is mushy, it might not have had a full trace.
• If using Palm Oil as part of your recipe, stir the oil before scooping it out on your scale. Most soap makers do not know that the Oleic Fatty Acid in the Palm Oil will sink to the bottom of the container as the oil solidifies and the other fatty acids will float to the top. If the Palm Oil is just scooped out from the top of the container, you get a soft soap but as you get to the bottom of the container, you'll find you get a harder bar of soap because the Oleic Fatty Acid has sunk down. when using a 5 gallon bucket of oil, dig a hole down into the Palm Oil and start scooping the oil out from the bottom to the top so you have a mix of complete oil.
• If the CP sticks in the mold... do not force it out but instead put the whole mold into the freezer for 30 minutes, take it out and let the plastic mold come to room temperature which is about 2 minutes. Put a towel on the counter and turn the mold over on the towel, now put your fingers under the mold and gently pull the sides of the mold to allow air in and then with your thumbs on top of the mold, press as your go around the mold. You should see the air releasing it from the mold.

Just freeze your soap

Nicole from Michigan

I use these molds they are very convenient but the downside is getting your soap out BUT I have figured out how to get my soap out of the mold you just have to freeze your soap for about 4 to 6 hours and it pops right out of the mold works like a charm, be sure not to cut your soap until it comes to room temperature or it will crumble.

Square Loaf mold

A viewer from Georgia USA

This mold is a great size, however, as a new soap maker, I am learning to read, read, research then read some more! I used this mold to make a Vegan colloidal oatmeal CP loaf and it took me 30 mins to unmold this soap! I have made approx. 10 loafs so far with various molds and this has been my most challenging feat! Please read all the info available before you purchase an item, (and they did provide adequate info on this product), but it was a fail for me.
