sarahmarah Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Hi—I’m new to the group and soap making. I’m waiting on a few books on CP from Amazon so that I can read up when I’m not studying the archives here. I’m starting to shop for supplies and safety gear and getting pumped to learn. 😊 I was looking at the premium molds from Nurture and I love that they have covers and liners. What’s a good size to start with? I thought I’d like bigger than the 2.5 but I’m not sure how much is too much for a beginner. I just didn’t want to keep upgrading—I’d rather grow into something than quickly out of it. I’m not worried about making somewhat of an investment and not liking CP. I usually dive in to new things that interest me. Any advice would be so appreciated! TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 I have a dozen of the tall skinny molds that are several years old. I pop 4 at a time in a large flat rate box and they fit perfectly so no need fo wood boxes. I use wood or cardboard dividers to keep sides true if not pouring all at once. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 BTW, the wood dividers that fit perfectly are the hobby boards from my menards hardware store. 6”x12”x like 1/8” thick. 🤗 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara AL Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 (edited) I just bought two of their 6X6 inch slab molds I love them fits 22 ounces of oils Edited January 5, 2020 by Barbara AL 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shari Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 (edited) I have 9 of their 7.5 lb molds and love them. I also have 4 of the 4 inch molds. I use the 4 inch for testing. I also have a large slab mold from them. I love all of her products. They are well made and last a long time. I highly recommend making smaller batches as a beginner that way if something goes wrong you're not out a lot of supplies if it can't be fixed. No more than 2 lbs at a time.

Candybee Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 I have 9 of the 5 1/2 lb molds. I haven't checked out their molds in a while and they didn't have the 7 1/2 lb one before. I might get me a few of those with the liners. I need to be able to make more soap faster and this might be it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
