Tips on Usage:

The Best Way to Dry Your Bars:

• We've learned from experience that the quickest way to stack and dry your soap bars is to stand them on the long edge. Refer to diagram below.
• Space the soap bars with about an 1/8" (3mm) between them and about 1/4" (6mm) between each row.
• Remove them off your soap bar Cutting Table just the way they were cut, then just simply separate them out, as you place them on the drying tray.
• You can stack about 100 average 3.5 to 4 oz. (100g to 120g) soap bars to a tray (up to about 25 lbs. (11.4 kg).

• If your soap bars are thinner or smaller,  under 3/4" (19mm), you may need straddle the rows by placing a row on top of the bars. See diagram below.
• This method works extremely well for small sample bars, even down to 3/8" (9mm) or less.
• It locks them together and allows you to move the tray around without them falling. It's quick and easy.

• You will also want to try our Soap Tray Dolly (solid tray on wheels). It is inexpensive, durable, makes your soap trays mobile and works on almost all applications. It also works as another tray.
• With limited space you can stack trays as high as you want. Just make sure you can still reach for ease of use and working heights. The bonus is you are not restricted by limitations rack systems have.
• Do you require even more space and mobility? Our soap drying trays can be stacked directly on a pallet to move easily with a pallet jack or fork lift.
• Need to speed up your drying times? Place fans around trays. The special slotted design and open sides allows for maximum air flow around your soaps.
