3D Soap Molds
3D
soap molds are used to create professional, double-sided soaps using Melt & Pour
soap bases and Cold Process hand-made soap. They are manufactured from 0.060"
thick, heavy duty ABS plastic which is food safe and FDA approved. The ABS molds
can withstand casting temperatures of up to 194°F and have excellent chemical
resistance.
Each
two-part 3D soap mold features a convenient built-in funnel to facilitate
filling of the mold and precision keys designed to align the two mold halves
together. 2 heavy duty rubber bands are included with each mold to secure the
soap mold during use.
NOTE: The photos below have been colorized to enhance the pattern on the soap.

How to Use Your 3D Soap
Molds
In these step by
step instructions you will learn how easy and fun it is to make your own
professional 3D soap using our two-part 3D molds. The 3D Soap Molds will cast a
double sided, three dimensional bar of soap just like commercial store bought
bars.
Supplies You Will Need
Soap Base: M&P
Soap Base OR CP Soap Supplies
* Fragrance or Essential Oil * Thermometer
* Pyrex Measuring Cup * Small Knife
* Optional: Colorant
 |
Step 1: Prepare your
mold
Make sure
your mold is clean, dry and dust free. Assemble the mold and secure with
the 2 heavy duty rubber bands. |
 |
Step 2: Pour Your Soap
After
preparing your M&P soap base, check the temperature with a thermometer
and verify that it is below 194°F, optimally 150-160°F. Pour the soap
slowly and steadily into the mold.
CP - After preparing your CP soap base, pour the soap at a light trace,
slowly and steadily into the mold.
Tips: Overfill the mold cavity by pouring an excess into the funnel.
This will act as a reserve and eliminate any large air pockets from
forming at the top of the bar.
Lightly tap the mold onto the table to release any trapped air and if
necessary, refill the funnel reserve. |
 |
Step 3: Unmold & Trim
Your Soap
When the soap is ready to release, gently separate the two halves, until
one side separates from the other. To release the soap from the
remaining half, lightly and steadily twist the mold (like an ice tray).
To trim your soap, score the cast on both sides with a small knife,
where the funnel meets the bar. Then bend the funnel excess, back and
forth until it breaks away from the bar. Lastly, trim the excess
material or "flashing" around the bar.
Tips: Unmolding M&P Soap: Most M&P soap can be unmolded from our
two-part molds in 4 hours at room temperature. To expedite the unmolding
time, after the soap solidifies, chill it to 55-60°F within the mold by
placing it into the freezer for 15 minutes or into the refrigerator for
1 hour. This will make the soap much easier to unmold, and in a fraction
of the time at room temperature.
Unmolding CP Soap: It is recommended to let the soap set in the molds
for as long as necessary, usually 18-24 hours, until the soap has
sufficiently solidified. |

Step 4: Cleaning Your
3D Molds
To clean the 3D molds, you can wash them in warm soapy water or in a
dishwasher. If using a dishwasher, run the cycle without detergent, as
this will etch the plastic over time. 3D molds are manufactured from
thick ABS, which has a continuous operating temperature of 194°F. This
makes them dishwasher safe.
Please note: Not all soap molds are dishwasher safe, and
therefore should only be washed in warm soapy water. |
