The Azlok 6 + 9 Cavity Rectangle Soap Mold Combo is a two-piece silicone set for making neat, uniform rectangular soaps in bulk. You get one mold with 6 larger cavities and one with 9 smaller cavities, both flexible, heat-resistant and easy to release, so you can pour a bigger batch in a single session.
At ₹489 for a 1 Combo Pack (a 2 Combo Pack is also available), it is an easy starting point for beginners and a handy backup for people who already sell handmade soap and hate waiting between pours.
What you get in the combo
Both molds are made from food-grade silicone and share the classic rectangle shape that stacks and wraps well. Here are the working dimensions:
- 6 Cavity mold: tray size roughly 19 × 20 × 2.5 cm; each finished soap is about 8 × 5.5 × 2.4 cm and weighs around 65–90 g.
- 9 Cavity mold: larger tray at about 31 × 21 cm, giving heavier bars of roughly 130–150 g each.
- Material: flexible silicone, heat-resistant and reusable.
- Quantity: 2 molds per combo pack. Colour supplied is any in-stock shade.
Between the two, you can pour up to 15 bars at once — useful when you are testing recipes or preparing gift sets.
What you can make with it
Silicone is forgiving, so these molds are not limited to soap. Common uses include:
- Melt-and-pour and cold-process soap — the flexible walls make unmoulding simple, even for detailed bars.
- Candles — pour soy or beeswax with a wick set in place.
- Resin and craft pieces — coasters, paperweights and embeds.
- Bath bombs, wax melts and small baked treats when you want a set of matching shapes.
How to use the molds
- Place the mold on a flat, rigid tray or board so it stays level while you carry it.
- Prepare your soap base or wax as per your recipe. For melt-and-pour, heat gently until just liquid; avoid overheating.
- Pour into each cavity, leaving a little space at the top. Tap the tray lightly to release air bubbles.
- Let the soap set fully. Melt-and-pour usually firms up in a few hours; cold-process needs 24–48 hours before unmoulding and then weeks to cure.
- To release, gently flex the silicone and push from the base — the bar should pop out cleanly with sharp edges.
A light spray of oil isn't essential with silicone, but it can help with sticky resin or intricate designs.
Cleaning and storage tips
- Wash with warm water and mild dish soap after each use. Silicone releases residue easily, so avoid harsh scrubbing.
- Dry completely before storing to prevent any musty smell.
- Store flat or loosely stacked, away from direct sunlight and sharp objects that could nick the surface.
- Keep it away from open flames — silicone tolerates heat but is not fireproof.
A few honest safety notes
When you are making cold-process soap, you are working with lye (sodium hydroxide), which is caustic. Wear gloves and eye protection, work in a ventilated space and keep children and pets away. If you use fragrance oils, dyes or essential oils, follow the recommended usage rates and patch-test finished bars on your skin before regular use. These molds are craft tools — the soap you make is not food, so keep unlabelled bars out of reach of little ones. Azlok stocks many of the oils and additives you'll need alongside molds like this one, so you can source a full kit in one place.
Who this combo suits
If you are just starting out, the smaller 6-cavity mold gives comfortable, standard-size bars, while the 9-cavity mold is good for chunkier soaps or larger candle pours. Small businesses will appreciate being able to run two batches side by side. Because silicone lasts through many pours when looked after, it earns its place in a regular maker's kit.
FAQ
How many soaps can I make at once?
Up to 15 bars per pour — 6 from the larger-cavity mold and 9 from the second mold — depending on your recipe volume.
Is the silicone safe for hot soap and wax?
Yes, the molds are heat-resistant and suit melt-and-pour soap, candle wax and resin. Avoid direct flame contact and don't exceed sensible pouring temperatures.
Do I need to grease the mold before pouring?
Usually not for soap, since silicone releases easily. A light oil spray can help with resin or very detailed designs.
How long before I can unmould?
Melt-and-pour sets in a few hours. Cold-process soap needs about 24–48 hours to firm up before unmoulding, then several weeks to cure fully.
Can I choose the mold colour?
The colour supplied is whichever is in stock at the time of dispatch, as the design and dimensions stay the same across shades.
