Hello,
In the past, I've used a plastic rubbermaid type lid (through the clear kind) that happened to sit over my wooden slab mold nicely, and then I put towels over/around that. The lid never made sense to me cause it fit inside the mold, not over it. Then recently I saw a video in which someone said his lid (different kind of mold, but similar in some ways) is really more of a leveler of sorts, if you don't want lumpy soap. So when he lined his mold with freezer paper, he had it fold over the top part too and then put the heavy "lid" down over that top - over the paper. This way the top would be flat, I guess.
Is that why some lids fit inside molds rather than on top?
Thanks!
