jwahlton Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 I never heard of Silver Moon but they sure look nice. I could get Mark to make the box for me. Are they comporable to Uplands, whoever has both? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabbledoya Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 I ordered a small custom slab mold last Friday and it's due to ship out today~~oh the anticipation! Can't wait--I'm tired of freezer paper already! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysticglow Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 What size did you get? TIAI ordered a slab mold 14" x 15" - yields 24 bars (3.5" x 2.5")Silvermoon will make the molds according to your specs. Just email Sandra with your dimensions and you'll get a quote back lightening fast. I think it took around 2 weeks or maybe less to get my mold. I also want to add that the quality is superb. You will not be disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debk Posted April 11, 2008 Author Share Posted April 11, 2008 so, I usually make only a dozen at a time. I think that is a 4 lb. receipe, not sure. I like mine at least 3 inches long and 2 or 2 1/2. How deep do you make yours? about 2 in.? Is 24 a 8 lb. receipe? I want to order her soap mold. I got nizzy's today. small squares, lol.

mystical_angel1219 Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 ^^^I'm thinking the 3.25L x 2.75 D x 15 L might be a good size- for a 4 lb recipe. I may order that one, I want to try those molds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debk Posted April 11, 2008 Author Share Posted April 11, 2008 thanks. I will check it out.! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbren Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 I got nizzy's today. small squares, lol.So, are you disappointed with it, Deb? Maybe the 9-bar dividers would be closer to what you are looking for bar-size-wise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idacandlelady Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Your a bunch of enablers:tongue2: !!! Lol.I am always looking for a better mold. I'm thinking I might just have to order order from silvermoon, Maybe I will just order a liner. I wish I had more cash to play with. Those look awesome!

Debk Posted April 11, 2008 Author Share Posted April 11, 2008 Yes, the 9 bar would be perfect! I checked out silver moon but I just can't afford to buy a liner and a wood mold. I don't make enough soaps to justify that right now. I make soaps for friends and family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debk Posted April 11, 2008 Author Share Posted April 11, 2008 Maybe I could find a wood slab mold that would be big enough for a 9 bar then buy a liner for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbren Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 You don't really need a 'mold', per se, to put the silvermoons in. The reason for the boxes is to keep the silicon from 'bowing' resulting in non-uniform bars.You could just build a wood frame to go around the 4 sides of the rubber mold. Or for that matter, you could use anything, books, bricks, etc. set up against the sides of the silicon.From what I have seen, the SILVERMOONS are a lot thicker than the Upland liners are, so the bowing shouldn't be all that much. Just keep in mind that you wouldn't be able to move it if you only use a frame or other objects to keep it in shape. With a box type set-up (4 sides and a bottom) you could move it after it's been poured in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debk Posted April 12, 2008 Author Share Posted April 12, 2008 You know, I have a wood log mold that sounds like the liner for 44.00 would fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
