Details

For melt and pour soap, pour at no hotter than 135°F, cool until hardened, then unmold—freezing briefly and dipping the mold bottom in warm water if needed. For cold process soap, lightly coat the mold with cooking spray, pour at trace, unmold after 24 hours, and cure 4–8 weeks; add sodium lactate if your recipe stays soft. For lotion bars, pour melted mixture (no hotter than 135°F), allow to solidify, then press the back of the mold to release. Wash molds in warm, soapy water and avoid dishwashers to prevent warping.

Not sure what this is now. . .

"This is not a silicone mold. I must of read the description wrong. It is a hard plastic piece. I'm actually not sure what it is or how to use it now. . . Maybe I can still add soap to it and unmold? Not sure."

Great Mold

"This is a great Mold, I used it for the first time, I have never used a milky way plastic tray mold before and I followed directions by spraying cooking spray in it before pouring my soap and it came out beautiful, I took it out 24 hours after letting my soap set up, and it came right out, I just turned it over, let some air get underneath the bottome by being patient, (you will see the air seperating your soap from the mold) and it just popped right out! I already ordered another kind of milky way tray mold of a different design."

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this mold

"I LOVE this sun and moon face tray mold. Quality plastic mold, very easy to use. Just what I needed to make specialty soaps for my daughter's upcoming celestial-themed wedding. Unbeatable price, as I ordered this during the Milky Way soap mold sale."

Q&A

Can this be used with powdered ingredients (ie. both bombs, toilet tabs, etc.)?: Yes you can used this mold for powdered ingredients.
Also, this mold (MW 116 ) lists the soap dimensions as 2.65" square @ 4.25 oz per bar. Mold (MW 54)soaps are 2.5" across a round soap @ 1.5 oz per bar. Are the numbers accurate, because even allowing for the corners, I can't see how a slightly larger bar of soap is almost 3 x the oz. Can you clarify that these specs are correct?: These measurements are correct. A tray mold will hold much more soap than a mold with single cavities. The MW 54 mold has 5 soap cavities and the tray mold will make 9 bars. Even though they both state they are 1" deep, the cavities for the round bars extend to 1" due to the sun and moon faces. Unlike the tray mold, the entire bar is not 1" deep. This will use less soap. We hope this explanation makes sense to you.
I've never used a tray mold. This tray mold holds 38.25 oz. If I have a 32 oz melt and pour base, is there any way this can be accommodated?: You can pour the 32 oz. of soap base into the mold. The bars will just not be as thick as if you had filled the mold to the top. If only pouring the 32 oz., we do recommend placing the mold in the freezer for about 30 minutes after the soap has hardened. This will make it easier to unmold the soap.
I am new to the soap making process and starting with M&P - so bare with me if this stupid question.Although this mold looks like 9 separate bars of soap -- the mold looks like it is 1 piece. Once the soap comes out of the mold how does one get it into the 9 bars??: it is the sun and Moon tray - thanks for quick reply

Once the soap comes out of the mold how does one get it into the 9 bars??: It is a one piece mold. Once the soap is poured and unmolded, it can be cut on the lines that divide the individual bars of soap. So, you will end up with 9 single bars.
