For making soap, just how big a bar does this make? A LOT bigger than a regular bath bar? A bit bigger than a bath bar?

As a Baker and a soaper who owns this pan, I would recommend against using it as a mold. The inside dimensions are approximately 7X3X3 (that's not precise, I'm about 850 miles from home right now). You would be much better off making your own bath soap mold from wood, lining it with heavy plastic, and pouring your entire batch in, then cutting it when it's solid but not yet cured. You can make guide cuts into the wood (it winds up looking similar to a miter box) and then simply slide and cut your batch into the individual bars. Yes, it sounds like a pain, but it's equally as easy as pouring each bar into it's own mold and also there is less splatter when you drop a wooden box. These pans are very floppy and even if you back it with a cookie sheet, it is still difficult to properly settle it.

I have used this product to make soap, but be careful with your ratios. I made it a bit too weak to start out with.

About 4 ", it is a pretty nice size. It is a pretty good size for making soap bars or massage bars.

the soap can sometimes feel rough (like that sand texture you were describing) if you lather with the bar directly against your skin. I don't recommend that method anyway because you use the soap up much faster. It will disintegrate much faster than commercial soap. You should lather it into your washcloth, pouf, wash mit, or whatever washing tool you use, and then soap up with that. No sandy feeling then, and the soap lasts longer.

I own both, and I like both for different reasons. The BB mold is much more stable than this one, but this one is easier to unmold, since you can push the soaps out individually (invert each cube to push it out), while the BB mold requires you to loosen up each side around the cube before it lets loose. As others have mentioned, if you use this one, you *really* have to have something under it before you can move it - it will flop all over the place, spilling soap everywhere. I make CP soap.

The bar of soap is 1inch high by 3 inches wide. The soap, however, is nothing like the original soap made in Spain. The scent is not authentic nor long-lasting now that it is made in Mejico.

I don't know how you make soap. I bought it to keep ants and mice out of the house. I also put some in a pan of water on the stove on low and it refreshes the air and makes it easier to breathe. It comes in a liquid form if that helps.

Depends on the type of soap. If glycerin soap, I would use a wooden spoon. This is a good wish but will add too many air bubbles to your soap

The soap that I buy comes in a large block. I cut it into smaller bars, and wet it just like regular soap. It makes a nice lather but you have to be careful not to let this soap float in water because of its delicate nature. It tends to melt quickly if you leave it in water. I have used the liquid version and I only use about 2 caps worth to make a nice foamy bath. Hope this helps. Good luck...SKW

It comes in large chunks. I just cut off what I need and it will form into a regular bar. You just work it like clay. I store it in a large plastic bowl. When I use it in the shower I have a scrubber that you can insert the soap into. Watch out for the pieces of bark's that may scratch the skin, you can feel them by just running your hands over the soap. I love the soap have been using it for 6 years.

I don't use this product for soap making. I use it for curing Olives so I won't be any help with your soap making project. Sorry.

Depends on the usage but it is bigger than the others..I guess can use longer than normal soaps.

I would estimate about 60-70. I use a separate bucket for wheels and such so my soap consumption might be faster than others. I think use about 1.5-2oz per car wash but I am not actually measuring it and could be off. I'm washing small cars (Merc SLK, Fiat 500).

It is a liquid bath soap, but it doesnt really make bubbles. When you rub it between your hands, it makes a soap film like a bar of soap would, not really a "foam".

How hard is your water? Does it soap up quickly or does it take a lot of soap to make a lather. If it takes a lot of soap to make a lather then you need a full cup of Calgon. If you are using powdered detergent, I would also use powdered Calgon (it dissolves quickly). Be sure to use hot water on this kind of load - you get really amazing results!

The minifigures are exactly the actual Lego minifigure size, about 1 1/2 inches, too small for a soap IMHO, the bricks are a bit bigger but still too small for a soap bar, they are about 1 7/8 x 1 x 1/2 inch. Speaking of soap bars, there is another Lego mold with a bigger size minifigure on amazon, as I gathered from the reviews, some people like to use that bigger "man" for soap bar making. HTH!

You are in luck. I just measured mine and it's 2x2x2. I love this mold. I use it for soaps and it doesn't warp against the heat like plastic molds do.
