Review on 3-Piece Silicone Soap Mold And Bamboo Cutting Tool Set With Shrink Wrap Bags by Wendy Ducy

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I really wanted to love this, but.

First the pros: 1. This kit comes with everything you need to scale up the soap making process. I could go from making 4 single bars in my little rectangle mold to making 10 at a time!2. It's reasonably priced.3. the materials, while not high-end, are adequate4. it does make soapNow the cons:1. My kit came mistakingly came with 2 wavy cutters - Now I have to buy a separate straight cutter2. the silicone inserts are shipped "twisted" so they don't lay absolutely flat against the outer wood box. I thought the weight of the soap would push the insert against the wood, but it doesn't and I used clothes pins to keep it flat as to not warp my soap3. The cutting board kinda works - the soap slides as you cut and even though I pushed it flat against the end by the opposite side each time I cut, I still ended up with wonky shaped soapAlso of note: The mold holds 3lbs of soap. I used 2lbs and you can see it didn't go all the way to the top of the mold. My bars came out measuring 2.75inches wide x 1.75inches tall x 1inch depth (After cutting).Overall, I think if you are buying this to make soap for your own enjoyment or gifts for friends and family it's fine. If however, like me, you are dipping your toe into making soap to sell, I'd go with buying higher end products that make the end result a lot more attractive.

Pros
  • MDPQT
Cons
  • Release of soap from mold can be messy
