Here is a pic of my silicone mold and roses. [ATTACH]15120[/ATTACH] The small thin rose, top left, was taken out of the mold the day after it was poured. Notice how much was left in the mold (left hand mold cavity). Today, I took one full rose out of the mold, bottom left, and see it's corresponding cavity, right hand side. There is still a bit of the soap left in the one I unmolded today (originally poured mold on Mar. 12, so almost a week). So I'm going to leave the other 2 roses in there about 3 or 4 more days and then check one of them. I hope this helps you with deciding whether to use a silicone mold or not, cuz it may tie your mold up for a bit.
