If using this for soap how much does each bar weigh?

This mold was a gift to go with a soap making kit. It makes really cute soaps, but I cannot say what the weight of each bar was.

Good question. I never noticed when I ordered mine so it's probably just a typo? My bar was 44.2 pounds. Official weight is supposed to be 44.0 pounds (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbell#Men.27s_bar).

So according to my bathroom scale it weighs 48.8 lbs. With that said, due to the shape of the scale surface I wasn't able to center it. As I'm sure you are aware most weights vary a bit from what they're advertised as. For me I treat this bar as a 50lb bar when calculating weight, and I believe the packaging from xmark had it listed as 50lbs as well.

I'm not sure it would. The soaps are pretty thick....seems like its for thicker liquids to me.

8-10lb plates 2- 5lb plates 2-2.5lb plats per bar + bar and spin locks weight = 100lbs per bar bars are about 19 inches long.

I use mine for soap, but this mold is very flimsy. I can almost see thru the silicone it is so thin. It works fine for soap and the heat doesn't seem to hurt, but you would want to support it well .

I'm not exactly sure. I've never really weighted it, but I can't imagine it weighs that much. Like I noted, its two, hollowed-out pieces of flimsy metal that are barely held together with some pegs you have to hammer in to them. I'd say there's virtually no weight to the bar itself, and I'd highly recommend using another bar in lieu of the one included. I've only put up to 60 pounds on this bar; I really don't think it could handle the whole hundred.

It probably won't hold whatever liquid dish soap, but it will accommodate any bar soap. Internal dimensions are (w)6.5"x(d)1.75"x(h)3"

I would say so. It is a very accurate little scale. I don't know what you weigh the soap in, just make sure your container is not so large that it covers the digital readout. I use this scale for packaging feta cheese in 8-oz. deli containers and it works beautifully.

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!

Each weight isn't 1 inch thick-the diameter of the circle that the bar goes through on the weight is 1 inch. However, it looks to me like you could safely fit approximately six 10 lb weights on each side. You might could fit about four 25 lb weights on each side and still screw the end holders on enough to secure the weight but that much weight would probably bend the bar.

Hi- The bars are 4" x 2 1/2" x 1 1/2" thick. There is minimal fragrance, and the soap is non drying. Bars last a long time. I love them!

The handle by itself weighs 10.1 lbs but has to removable bars that fit internally. Each bar weighs about 4.95lbs. To keep if balanced you should either take both out or keep them both in.

The bar and collars weigh 3 pounds. On each bar, there are two 6 pound weights. That's 12 pounds of weight. There are also two 2 1/2 pound plates. That's 5 pounds of weight So the total weight of the plates is 17 pounds. That leaves 3 pounds for the bar and collars.

I think about a quart. I cut it up and melted it in a quart sized mason jar in a boiling pot of water. I didn't really pay attention to how much liquid it made, but I think I filled the jar twice and when melted was half a jar. This soap melts pretty quickly and is easy to work with.

I don't have a bar of soap to measure, but I think it's about 2" x 4". It's larger than an average-sized bar of soap.

Can't really answer your question since I use this only for soap making. Sorry.
