Question about Soap Sizes

[beck180]

What is the average size when using a loaf or wooden mold?

Are they all different?

I am Interested in making some Extra Wide bars,

Somewhere around 4x5 inches or so...

Are there molds that size?

Any suggestions would be awesome!!!

Thanks ~

most molds I have seen are about 3 1/2 inches wide.

But there are quite a few suppliers (a couple on here) that will make custom molds at any size and shape.

Here are some links for wooden molds. There is a thread on wooden molds two pages into this forum. I have four wooden log molds coming from Candles and woodcrafts. Very resonable prices on all of their molds but I personally stuck with standard size log molds without pins or hinges. Just look under STANDARD LOG MOLDS.

This site actually has some very neat gisplays as well as molds to save this site and study it! They have standard, hinged and pegged wooden molds and all of their prices are reasonable.

For Craft's Sakes is a nice place too study. They have some great soap cutters as well as very nice molds. Place this site into your favorites if you know you want a great soap cutter later on!

I really like this slab mold but I would line it with freezer paper myself. I don't like the look of the soap on plastic

Unfortunately, I don't have Pauls TOG mold site saved. I do but I can't find it but it's on ESTY. He makes wonderful hand made wooden molds that many rave about.
