This is a beautiful little heart maker but it does tend to leak out a bit while curing. I used clips to hold the edges together the second time I used this mold but it still leaked a bit. The next time I used even more clips and laid it on the other side to cure and it did just fine. It created lovely little heart soaps for decor in a bowl/use in the restrooms, for quests, etc. I do not hold it against the seller that it leaks a bit because I believe it can leak due to things we ourselves do during the process of making the soaps, the kind of soaps we are making, temperature or other unforeseen circumstances that can not be blamed on the seller. I love these little heart soaps and the mold!

The heart shaped silicone mold worked perfectly for my cold process soap. I used melt and pour for the silicone mold and then embedded that into my loaf mold and pour my cold processed soap over it. I did have to hold the silicone mold together with smaller rubber band hair ties but it came out really well with no leaking. The length is the perfect size for the 10X3 loaf mold. Removing the heart from the silicone was easy too. The mold is made up of thick silicone and seems durable.

I purchased four heart molds for a Valentine's order with no real plan on what my design was going to be, other than my customer wanted heart soaps. I assembled the molds and then rubber-banded the four columns together to make them more stable when standing upright. I then placed them standing up in a tall container and stuffed paper towels around them to fill in the gap between the molds and the outer container, being careful to keep the columns as straight as possible. I poured at med-thin trace and experienced no leakage. The hearts came out perfect with minimal cleanup required. For the finished bars, I used the soap columns as embeds in a tall skinny loaf mold that's 2.25" wide. Proportionally they look good in the finished bars. However, the first batch I made I tried the 'love letter' design and the width of the loaf mold was too narrow to look like an envelope. The 2nd two batches I did different swirl variations and placed the embed during the pour. They came out fine, but I will tweak my designs next time I make them. All in all, I think the size of the heart is ok for a 2.25" wide mold, but would look better in a 2.5" or wider mold. The length can be pieced together or cut to fit any size mold. I used one of the four hearts I made to fill in the gap on the three batches of soap I made as my mold is 13" long; they came out fine. The finished size of the heart is 1" x 1" at the widest points. My recipe had 425 grams of oil with a 36% lye concentration (1.78:1). This amount was too much for the four molds. I had enough left over to make an extra single-bar soap (I think 3oz bar) which I shredded for confetti for a future batch.

excellent product thank you

Easy to use and did not leak like other uses said they did. Easy to clean and I reused them multiple times for a large project.

Good for I’m using for

I read reviews that said there were a variety of leaks and stability issues. I did not have these problems. The mold is good quality and fits snuggly in the groves even after several uses and washing. You have to make sure the mold is snapped together well and it is together everywhere. I used a cup and support to hold it upright and level. A little pre planning is all it takes. It works well with CP soap and MP soap. Over all it’s worth it and if you’re unsure of leaking throw the binder cups on it.

This mold is great! I did use clips to hold it together, just in case. But the hearts came out perfect. I’m pleased.
