Why This Rectangle + Oval Silicone Soap Mold Combo Makes Batch Soaping Easier

The Azlok 9 Cavity Rectangle + 15 Cavity Oval Soap Mold Combo Pack is a two-mold silicone set that lets you cast 24 soaps at once—nine sturdy rectangular bars and fifteen smaller oval ones. It is made for melt-and-pour and cold-process soap makers who want more finished pieces per batch, but the flexible, heat-resistant silicone works just as well for resin art and small candles.

What you get in the combo

Both molds are made from food-grade style silicone and arrive as a pair, so you can mix bar sizes in the same session instead of buying two separate items. Here is the quick breakdown:

Rectangle mold: 9 cavities, roughly 31 x 21 cm overall, each bar setting to about 130–150 gm.
Oval mold: 15 cavities, roughly 30 x 24 cm overall, each soap around 60–90 gm.
Material: flexible silicone, heat-resistant and easy to unmould.
Weight: about 200 gm for the set, priced at ₹689.
Packs: available as Pack of 1, Pack of 5 or Pack of 10 for small businesses scaling up.

Colour is supplied as available in stock, so treat the mould as a functional tool rather than a colour-matched item.

Best uses for these molds

Silicone is popular with makers because nothing sticks to it and the soft walls flex away from the finished piece. This set is genuinely versatile:

Melt-and-pour soap: the easiest way to start. Melt the base, add colour and fragrance, pour and wait.
Cold-process soap: works too, though the individual cavities set firmer bars best after a slightly longer cure.
Resin coasters and trinkets: the rectangle cavities make tidy resin blanks.
Wax melts and small candles: pour scented wax straight into the ovals for guest-sized pieces.
Baking and chocolate: since silicone is food-safe, you can dedicate a mould to edibles (keep it separate from soap moulds).

How to use the mold, step by step

Place the mould on a flat, sturdy tray so you can move it without spills.
Prepare your soap base—melt-and-pour chunks in a double boiler, or your cold-process batter mixed to light trace.
Stir in colour and fragrance or essential oil, then pour evenly into each cavity.
Tap the tray gently on the counter to release trapped air bubbles.
Let melt-and-pour set for a few hours; cold-process bars need 24–48 hours before unmoulding, then a few weeks to cure.
To release, flex the base and push each cavity up from below—the soap pops out cleanly.

Care, cleaning and safety tips

These moulds are low-maintenance, but a little care keeps them clear and long-lasting:

Wash with warm water and mild dish soap; avoid abrasive scrubbers that scratch the surface.
Dry fully before storing flat so the cavities keep their shape.
Do not place directly on an open flame or in a very hot oven beyond the silicone's rated range.
When working with lye for cold-process soap, wear gloves and eye protection and work in a ventilated space—that safety applies to the soaping process, not the mould itself.
Keep fragrance oils and raw soap batter away from children and pets.

Buying and storage advice

For hobbyists making the occasional batch, a single combo pack is plenty. If you run a small soap business or teach workshops, the Pack of 5 or Pack of 10 lets you pour large batches in one sitting and cuts down on waiting time. Store the moulds stacked flat or hung, away from direct sunlight, which can make silicone brittle over years. You will find this combo in the soap-making section at Azlok, alongside bases, fragrance oils and colourants if you want to complete your kit.

FAQ

How many soaps can I make at once?

The set casts 24 pieces per pour—nine rectangular bars of about 130–150 gm and fifteen ovals of about 60–90 gm.

Is the mold suitable for cold-process soap?

Yes. Silicone handles both melt-and-pour and cold-process methods. For cold process, allow a slightly longer set before unmoulding and follow proper lye safety.

Can I use it for resin and candles too?

You can. The flexible, heat-resistant silicone works for resin art and small poured candles. If you also use it for food, keep a separate mould for edibles.

Why can't I choose the mold colour?

The mould is supplied in whichever colour is in stock. Colour does not affect performance, so treat it as a functional tool.

How do I release soap without breaking it?

Let the soap set fully, then flex the base and push each cavity upward from underneath. A cured bar releases cleanly without tugging.
