Great job.

You have wooden box, so you may choose silicone rubber ( plate ) to glue it on wooden box frame.

There is one issue for RTV2 silicone, it is liquid silicone.
It is better to use food grade or white color.

In some cases, if you don't have idea about formula, then
A.
Color is milked in soap liquid, so, after soap dryer, silicone color is on soap. It is always happening for wrong formula.
This may only RTV2 with some essential oils to be a chemical action.

B.
How do you know what is inside of your RTV2?
BPA Free?

I don't have answer either.

Thanks for the thoughts. Lots to learn!

I haven't been to your site in awhile...the new one looks good. Just ordered the soap beveler and some indigo powder. Looks like you have some beautiful new molds.

I actually did the exact same thing. At first I tried just the liner. Making one big sheet of silicone and cut it to size. This didn't turn out the way I thought it would. So I had a guy cut me a perfect box to my specifications and made a mold of that box, just like what you did here. I don't want to mess with liners. Plus NONE of the stores around here carry freezer paper. And I had a heck of a time finding wax paper (which I heard won't work as well anyway) so the silicone was the easiest (snort) way for me to go.
Unfortunatly, the box I made a mold of was too big. It made huge bars... So after making two molds of the box, I'm now going to have to scrap those molds, and get a new smaller box to make new molds of. *sigh* I'm hoping I can find some use for them...
