I am new to soaping and the only thing I would say would be if you are a beginner, get the basic mold not this one. The ability to cover this with the easy acrylic slide top is great if you know what you are doing, but when learning, it makes things a little harder as you make mistakes, messes and such. I am excited when I have soaping down a little better and don't make a huge mess lol.

I can make more soap at once

Very sturdy

The best mold! Perfect size and very easy to handle the box. Love it! Thank you!

Perfect size nice thick insert too!
