idacandlelady Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I just got some of the molds from Tony's, how do you figure how big of batch to make. It's kinda got me stumped (doesn't take much) lol. It says on their site that each bar will be 4.8 to 5oz. Should I just go by this and times by how many bars I want?Or maybe one of you great, helpful people could just tell me how much you make for them ?TIARebecca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 L x W x H x .4 will give you the oils needed to fill the mold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbren Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 They are the half-round cavity molds, right? I fill mine to the top and they are 5 oz. each so that would be 30 oz of raw soap for each mold. Not knowing whether you do a water discount or anything...play around with a soap calc to get the right amount for how many molds you want to fill.I always keep a couple single cavity molds out when I'm soaping just in case I have any over-pours.I LOVE my Tony's molds...for salt bars especially.

Barbara AL Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 If you are doing Salt Bars I do about 21 ounces of oils because the Salt adds some volume to the batch.Barbara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Oops, thanks jbren, the Tony's molds didn't register in my brain as the 1/2 rounds. I too love my Tony's molds for salt bars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8-GRAN-ONES Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Do these mold work good for CP soap too?I have been thinking about getting one of these type of molds... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Yes they work well for CP and I love the bars. But you need to grease them first or the soap can be hard to get out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbren Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I use them for salt bars and other specialty soaps. Once you figure out the right way to unmold them,they just roll out to you! LOLI had pictures around somewhere...a small tutorial on unmolding them...I'll see if I can figure out where I posted them. It was a while ago.

cozyaromas Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 That would be great as I have some of Tony's molds as well, I really like them for rebatch soap, although you need to bang them really good to get the batch settled and even.
