Hi, I'm thinking of using this to make a large soap mold. Do you think if I made of box out of this, it could hold 25-30lbs of soap mix without bowing

I can't guarantee this by any stretch, but it's very thick and strong material and I don't see why it wouldn't work for this purpose.

I think it will. You would, most likely, have to leave a shelf out in order to accomodate the mixer. I do love this island. It is well made and gives me the storage I needed. I can store many serving pieces in it.

No, I don't think so. It's too narrow. And the weight of those might make it fall down. It might hold a bar of soap stood on end, but I think it would be a mess trying to get it out.

Patricia, I just happen to have a 4lb. bag of sugar sitting right next to the jar, and it appears that it would easily accommodate 5 lbs. of volume, so the answer is "yes" it should be able to meet your needs. It is a very nice jar. Good luck. Larry

I think it would. I use it to make soaps. Each cavity holds right about .33 oz of soap so I'm guessing that it would hold about 3/4 - 1 oz of concrete. They would be a tiny little bit large for an actual malti-poo's paw prints I think, but not grossly.So very sorry. I know how much it hurts. Sue/simplysilver.net

Unfortunately you can not. I just stick a large container of liquid of soap (the kind you buy from Costco & such) and it will register a few pounds. Then it saves that, so the next time some one goes to use it - it doesn't show the our weight but weight of the bottle.

It will have no problem holding large/heavy quantities for drying. It is very durable and fairly heavy duty.

I think it could work ok. We use it in our pantry, but it is not made to hold too much weight and we have it strapped to the door because the rack can lift and items will fall out the back. I have seen other options since purchasing this that have more of a basket that you might be able to find.

Yeah it can support a lot of weight. I have a lot of cleaning supplies on mine, including a very heavy 50 load container of laundry detergent

Should work fine for an average soap dispenser. If the bottle opening is smaller than 1/4 inch it might be tight.

I agree, roughly 12 bars or 3 bars per 1/2 lb. of base. I purchased this kit to see if it was something I would enjoy....I now buy my soap base 6 lbs. per order, have added many different molds & oils. This is something that is really enjoyable, creative, & most of all easy to do!

I use mine for soap making and have found the silicone molds extremely easy to use. hope this helps! :-)

Yes! That's what I use it for. Cold process soap. I love this mold! However, if you fill it more than about half way, the contents are heavier than the mold is strong and the long sides bow out a bit. This is easily remedied by placing something stout (or another mold) on either of the long sides. Happy soaping!

It does seem sturdy enough. Mine is used for bathroom storage--towels, shampoos, soaps, lotions, etc.

It could hold a flat not curved bar of soap. I have 2 sponges in mine. It is a great holder and easy to keep clean.

We used ours for soap molds and it worked well. We have not tried any other additional uses for this mold.

If you filled this basket with records, it would be quite heavy. I don't believe the wire frame would be sturdy enough if you picked up the basket after filling with with LPs. If you filled it and didn't move it, it would probably be fine.
