Hi everyone:

I'm new here and I've been reading the various posts trying to figure out which mold to use for soaps.

Some people prefer the wood while others prefer the silcon molds.

I looked at the sites that some of you mentioned for the silicon molds and found them to be a bit expensive and thought about some alternatives.

For those of you that prefer silicon soap molds I have some good news. I put in a search for silicon bakeware and found some really good stuff or at least I think so. As I said it's bakeware so the trays might not necessarily be the regular soap shape but then a lot of the traditional soap molds are always regular shapes either.

The following are a few of the places I found that have some very interesting molds.

My personal experience with silicone bakeware is that soap sticks like a son of a... gun. :wink:

All of my silicone molds, purchased from WSP, are smooth as glass inside, and the soap just plops right out, literally shiny smooth. I don't want to totally discourage you though... YMMV. It might work, and if not, hey - bake some banana bread! :)
 
Silicone bakeware is very thin, and in my experience, can leave a color transfer on your soap.

I have a handful of the WSP molds, they work well. Especially after they're used a few times.

Uplands molds are more expensive, but they're well made and work perfectly.
I've never tried their smaller molds, but the double logs are a soaping dream.
