Silicomolds Soap Mould | 16 Cavity Square | 10g | 3.3cm - Colour May Vary

Turn out sixteen small square soaps in one pour, each 3.3 cm across and shallow at 0.5 cm deep, which is the classic guest soap and sampler size. Sixteen cavities in a single tray is what makes this mould worth having, since a melt and pour batch sets in one go rather than in four separate rounds. The flexible silicone releases each square cleanly without lining or greasing.

Specifications

Ideal For

• Melt and pour soap makers producing guest and sampler sizes
• Small businesses building sample sets and wedding favours
• Wax melt and shaker bar makers
• Beginners who want a forgiving shallow cavity
• Anyone batching sixteen identical pieces at a time

Perfect for

• Pour a batch of guest soaps for a bathroom or a gift hamper
• Make sample squares to send out with orders
• Cast scented wax melts and snap bars
• Set embeds to drop into a larger loaf or bar
• Make wedding and party favours in one afternoon

Compatibility

Works with: melt and pour soap base, cold process soap batter, candle and soy wax, and resin.

Pairs well with: soap bases, since a melt and pour base is the quickest way to fill sixteen cavities in one session.

Not suitable for: thick chunky bars, since the cavity is only 0.5 cm deep; and food use, since we state no food-grade rating for this mould.

Before You Buy

• The cavity is 0.5 cm deep, so these are thin guest soaps and sampler squares rather than full bars.
• Mould colour is assigned by the maker on availability and will vary from the photographs.
• The mould is supplied on its own. Soap base, fragrance and colourant are separate.
• We state no food-grade rating for this mould, so use it for soap, wax and resin rather than for food.
• Cold process batter needs a longer cure in a shallow cavity than it does in a loaf.

How to Use

1. Sit the tray on a flat rigid board before you fill it, since a full 16 cavity tray flexes.
2. Melt and colour your base, then let it cool slightly so it does not overflow the shallow cavities.
3. Pour steadily into each square, filling to just below the rim.
4. Spritz the surface with rubbing alcohol if bubbles form on a melt and pour batch.
5. Leave to set at room temperature, then chill briefly if the squares resist.
6. Flex the tray from underneath and push each square out from the back.

Frequently Asked Questions

How big is each soap and how many does the tray make?
Each cavity is 3.3 cm square and 0.5 cm deep, holding about 10 g, and the tray casts sixteen at a time.

How is this different from the 125g round and square mould?
This one makes sixteen thin 10 g squares in a single pour. The 125 g mould makes four full sized bars at 3.5 cm deep, so it is for finished bars rather than samplers.

Can I use this for wax melts?
Yes. The shallow square is a common wax melt and snap bar format, and the flexible silicone releases set wax cleanly.

What colour will my mould be?
Silicomolds assigns mould colour on availability, so the tray you receive may not match the colour shown. This affects only the mould, not the soap.
