Wow I wasn't expecting this lol! For those who use a 7 or 7.5 lb mold from nurture how much product ounces do you put in? I'm trying to figure out a reasonable amount. These bars are over 7 ounces and I'm used to 4.5 to 5 ounces. Also if I do make them shorter and do piped fancy tops will the mold on the sides of it mess them up?

Actually figured out how much I'm gonna try. Seeing these big bars were cool though lol. Lavender peppermint rosemary
 
Could you put a solid false bottom in the mold so your piped tops will be above the top edge?
 
I would find a piece of wood/lumber that fits down inside the mold so your liner is raised.
 
Ty for the idea! And just wrap the wood in freezer paper? I wouldn't have to line entire. Mold?
 
I was thinking you were using a wooden mold with a silicone liner. If the whole mold is silicone, I'm not sure my idea would work.
 
It's a wood mold with silicone liner. If I out the wood in the bottom it would. Just raise up the liner. The liner is as deep as the mold
 
I sometimes wish I had a taller mold since I also use mine as a mitre box for cutting. When I have big tops I have to guess where today start my cut.
 
I wish their smaller molds had those dimensions! I really want a log mold (not a column mold) that has equal height and width so I can make squares. I don't like to make batches of that size (the lye + oils would weigh more than 10 lbs!).
