    Any Thoughts Silicone vs. Plastic vs. Wood Rectangular Soap Molds?

    Honestly, I have found that silicone works best with melt and pour bases. If you're doing cp or hp soap,the wood mold with the freezer paper works best. This is if you're doing a loaf bar. If you're doing like individual bars, a silicone mold with separate cavities works quite well.

    preparing beeswax for soap?

    Personally, i have never had a problem with beeswax. However, i've never used beeswax straight out of the hive but already packaged and cleaned by a local bee keeper.
