Willow Way HANDcraft 3" Tube Mold with Teflon Liner

Many soap makers use 3" PVC pipes as molds. They're not terribly hard to make, but they leak and the soap is hard to unmold. The folks at Willow Way make amazing equipment for professional soap makers, but they also have a line designed for smaller-scale soapmakers called "HANDcraft."

I recently got to use one of their HANDcraft 3" Tube Molds. It's a really wonderful piece of equipment! Well designed and perfectly engineered.

More information:

• It's made of tough PVC and makes a 14" long loaf
• Has a weighted base keeps the tube in place for pouring and curing
• It comes with a teflon liner that makes de-molding much easier, and a snap in cap is included to seal in heat

As you'll see, it was easy to use and setup. While I used it on cold processed soap (it's super for loofah soap), you could also use it for melt and pour soap as well.
