{"product_id":"soap-cutter-wire-bamboo","title":"Soap Cutter Wire, Bamboo Tray with Metal Arm and Marked Scale","description":"\u003cp\u003eA soap cutter wire on a bamboo tray, made for cutting a soap loaf into bars at home. The tray has a U-shaped channel that holds the loaf, an engraved scale at the cutting end and a hinged metal arm that carries one thin cutting wire, tightened with a knob. The size is about 10.2 × 5.9 × 1.6 in (260 × 150 × 40 mm) and the product weight is about 17.3 oz (490 g). Each order is one tray with its arm and wire. No soap, mold or spare wire is included, nor is the green soap shown in one photo.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat it does\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHolds a soap loaf while you cut.

The scale at the cutting end is numbered 1 to 5 with a line at every half step, so the marks run from about 0.5 to 5 cm (about 0.2–2 in). It is a guide for your eye: there is no stop or lock, so mark or measure the loaf and check the first bar before you cut the rest.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne thin metal wire on a hinged arm.

If anything is missing or damaged, contact us through the contact page. The cutting wire is thin and under tension: keep your fingers away from the wire while you cut and when you tighten or replace it. Freshly made soap can still be caustic, so wear gloves when you cut new loaves. Set the loaf in the channel, slide it until its end reaches the number you want on the scale, hold it still and swing the arm so the wire passes through the soap. Tighten the wire with the knob until it is taut and stop there, because a thin wire can snap if it is forced. Brush soap crumbs off with a dry cloth, wipe the tray with a damp cloth if needed and let the bamboo dry fully. Do not soak it. Store the tray flat and dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eYour questions, answered\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWhat comes in the order?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne bamboo tray with a hinged metal arm and one cutting wire fitted to it, tightened with a knob.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eHow thick will the bars be?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tray has an engraved scale at the cutting end, numbered 1 to 5 with a line at every half step, from about 0.5 to 5 cm (about 0.2–2 in).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eIs a spare wire included?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The wire fitted to the arm is the one you get.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWhat is it made of?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tray is bamboo.
