The Azlok 6 Cavity Rectangle + 9 Cavity Rectangle Soap Mold Combo Pack lets you cast 15 neat rectangular bars in one batch, making it a handy starter and scaling tool for anyone making soap at home. Priced at around ₹469, it gives you two moulds with different cavity counts so you can run small test batches and larger production runs from the same kit.
What you get and why the combo works
This combo pairs a 6-cavity tray with a 9-cavity tray. The idea is simple but useful: use the smaller mould when you are trying a new recipe, fragrance or colour, and the larger one when you are confident and want a bigger yield. Together they suit both personal use and small-batch selling.
Rectangular cavities give you classic, easy-to-hold bars with clean edges. They stack well, wrap neatly and look professional on a shelf or gift hamper.
Common uses
- Melt-and-pour soap: The most beginner-friendly method. Melt a soap base, add colour and fragrance, pour and set.
- Cold-process soap: Works for pouring set batches, though thicker batter needs a little tapping to settle.
- Resin, wax and plaster crafts: The same trays double up for candle tarts, small resin blocks or scented wax melts.
- Bath and body treats: Lotion bars, shampoo bars and massage bars all release cleanly.
How to use the mould
- Prepare your base: For melt-and-pour, chop the base into cubes and melt gently in a microwave or double boiler until fully liquid.
- Add extras: Stir in skin-safe colourant and a suitable fragrance or essential oil at the recommended dosage. Mix slowly to avoid bubbles.
- Pour: Fill each cavity almost to the top. A light spritz of isopropyl alcohol on the surface pops surface bubbles.
- Set: Leave undisturbed on a flat tray. Melt-and-pour usually firms up in a few hours; you can speed it up in the fridge.
- Demould: Once fully hardened, flex the mould gently and push from the base. Bars should slide out with a clean face.
Tips for better bars
- Place the mould on a rigid board or baking tray before pouring so you can move it without spilling.
- Do not overheat your soap base; repeated overheating dulls the finish and can affect fragrance.
- For cold-process, allow the recommended cure time (usually a few weeks) before use, even after demoulding.
- If bars stick, chill for another 15–20 minutes rather than forcing them out.
Cleaning and care
Wash the mould with warm water and mild dish soap after every use, then dry fully before storing. Avoid sharp knives inside the cavities, as scratches transfer onto your bars. Store flat, away from direct heat and sunlight, so the trays keep their shape.
Safety notes
Soap moulds are not food-grade cookware unless stated, so keep them separate from kitchen utensils. If you make cold-process soap, lye handling requires goggles, gloves and good ventilation, and this is not suitable for children. Always patch-test a new soap on your skin before regular use, and keep raw materials and finished bars away from young children and pets until fully cured.
Buying and storage
The combo is available as a 1 Combo Pack or 2 Combo Pack, so you can double up if you plan larger runs or want backups while one set is curing. Made in India, the Azlok combo is a sensible pick for hobbyists moving from single moulds to small production. Store the trays clean, dry and flat, and they will serve batch after batch.
FAQ
How many soaps can I make at once?
One combo pack lets you cast up to 15 bars in a single session — 6 in the smaller tray and 9 in the larger one.
Can I use this mould for cold-process soap?
Yes. It works for cold-process batter, though thicker mixes may need gentle tapping to settle and a full cure before the bars are ready to use.
Is it only for soap?
No. The same rectangular trays can be used for wax melts, candle tarts, resin blocks, lotion bars and plaster crafts.
How do I stop soap from sticking?
Let the bars set completely, then chill the mould for 15–20 minutes before flexing and pushing from the base. Avoid forcing soft, under-set soap out.
How should I clean it?
Wash with warm water and mild soap, avoid sharp tools inside the cavities, and dry fully before storing flat.
