Is this silicone food grade and good for making silicone molds for cold process soap making, soap made with lye?

This product is not labeled as food grade. But it should work well for your application.

Yes it's food grade. use it for kitchen utensils made of wood,also wooden cutting boards. It's tasteless.

No, it's just a big chunk of clear glycerine type melt and pour. It's not good quality. The only thing good I can say about it, is that it got me started on learning how to make REAL soap with lye and oils.

What is glue paste used for? I bought this mold to use for soap. I've used both melt and pour and hot process soap in it. The melt and pour soap is very liquidy and hot. Hot process is thicker and not as hot. The mold is extremely flexible and the soaps popped right out. Maybe some of these experiences will help you. Sorry I can't offer more. Good luck!

Nope, the soap won't stick to the silicon if you give it a few days to cure. Sometimes I'll let them sit for a week or two before removing them just to make sure they've solidified(especially if the recipe was mostly olive oil). With other molds, I've always used a parchment paper liner but not with silicone.

Haven't tried it, but the manufacturer claims it's microwave safe. I believe most food-grade silicone products are microwave safe.

silicone is good up to 500 degrees F - sugar at that temperature would be way past caramel. You'll really love the smooth surface - no lump from the hanle to snag your stuff.

Yes, this is not food grade but is great for skin. In fact it is sold by a company that makes products for soap makers. Go look at their website. I use it straight on my skin after showering. http://www.essentialdepot.com/

I bought this for making soap as well. I believe it would have to be a very small batch of soap. The sides are straight. I have not used mine for making soap because I think it's too small. I am still using a loaf pan lined with plastic. I was disappointed when I received this item.

Never made soap before, so I can't really say, but: I thought it was of good construction, like a food-grade mold. And it was flexible enough to maintain the shape of the jello shots I used it for. By the way, I am speaking about it in past-tense, because I gave it to the birthday boy I made the jello shooters for. Hope this helps.

I am not sure of the answer to that. I used mine to make a soap that is amazing with lemon oil. It is still fresh. The batch was made about 2 months ago

I'm not sure about the soap grade, however I like the way it lathers. I cut it in small pieces then heat it in the microwave and place it in a soap mold so that I have an actual bar. Do not let it sit where water sprays on it as it will turn soft. I take it out of the shower when I'm done and place it in a soap dish on the counter so it can dry between uses.

These are therapeutic grade oils. Therefore they are meant to be made for a aromatherapy, soap making, for external uses using a carrier oil, etc. I wouldn't consider this food grade as I have not used these as that purpose. You might want to look at Now Foods. Those are food grade oils. Hope this helps.

I just bought these Gummy Bear Trays 2 weeks ago. The material feels rubbery and very sturdy, used it to make jello. I *ASSUME* it might be silicone. Don't know about the chemical composition.

I believe so. This should be NaOH, sodium hydroxide. I know people use this to make soap but I don't know if they are making cold process soap........

I don't know because I used it to make dishwashing liquid and hand soap. Sorry.

Yes it is perfect. 100% lye. nothing else in it. Easily dissolves. I made beautiful soaps.
