Grumpy Girl Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 I just wish he made these molds bigger... bummer. Definitely a no line mold but the 3 lb mold I ordered doesn't even hold 3 lbs total weight, which sucks. Had I known that, I'd have ordered the largest one he makes. I got them on ebay. All the sides pop right off and it's awesome.On the left, Peaks Green Clover and Aloe with just enough acceleration to keep you on your toes. I tried to swirl, but as thick as it was, I dunno if it made it or not. Who cares, the smell alone is worth it.On the right, JS Honeyed Almond, no color. I want to see if it turns brown. Soaped wonderfully though.If I can get these molds bigger, I'm converting over to them exclusively. I really like them.___________________________________________(I don't think the honeyed almond will turn, and it smells awesome!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scntdwik Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 I have been thinking about getting one of the Misty Creek Molds...Would you reccomend these ones over Misty Creek ones?I have been looking at these on Ebay also! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystical_angel1219 Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 The Misty Creek mold makes a smaller bar, and it's made of wood. You HAVE to line that mold.This one comes completely apart and goes in the dishwasher. Its made from the same material as a Kelsei Mold. Solid, sturdy construction. No liner needed unless you buy the cutter version.This is the cutter mold I have from this seller:http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-15-BAR-5-LOAF-Soap-Slicer-Cutter-Mold-Blade_W0QQitemZ6242968049QQcategoryZ13926QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scntdwik Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Some of you are really going to have to help me along with the whole CP process. Ive always done M&P and really really want to try CP.What do you line these molds with? And when you line them doesnt it give the soap imperfections from the lining not being exactly straight?

Grumpy Girl Posted April 23, 2006 Author Share Posted April 23, 2006 There is no lining to these molds at all. I did spray them with some Pam to be on the safe side, but honestly you won't need it at all. I absolutely love them and I'll be converting all my molds over to these within a month. I emailed him just a few minutes ago about making me several in a custom size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutlandishLady Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 So how much DO they hold? I was thinking about these when I bought my Misty Creek, but I'd love to have a really good log mold too.Are you turning into a "Mold Ho" now?!?

Grumpy Girl Posted April 23, 2006 Author Share Posted April 23, 2006 Well, I bought a 3 lb mold and after talking to Mystic Angel, who had used them before, she figured it would hold 3 lbs TOTAL weight, including water, (not just oil weight, which is what I thought when I bought them) which wasn't the case. These each held about 2.5 lbs total weight including water, (I even heaped them up and poured at a super thick trace just to get that much soap into them) and I got 8 bars when I cut it... but I cut them a bit off and it should have been 9 bars. The mold is 9 inches long. I emailed Mr. Doright and he's sending me the next size up. If I could get my hands on a 6 lb mold, I think that it would be perfect for me... and that's what I'm shooting for. I've already decided to switch over, it's just a matter of finding the right size for me.I am definitely a mold ho, and have been for awhile now... but these have converted me, I'm looking into starting a mono-mold relationship now and kicking the others to the curb... well, except for my Kelsei. A girl has to have one good slab mold, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnitaG Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Love those & I bet they smell so good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutlandishLady Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 You, a mono-molder? Say it isn't so I am using a 2+ lb wood log mold now, but I hate lining that bugger. May have to look into these as an option. But I'm definitely keeping my Misty Creek slab too. The cutter is just too much fun, lol.Soaps are beauty-mus as always.

prairieannie Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 I don't know WHY it is that I love plain creamy white/ivory soap so dang much, but every time I see a bar of it, I get chills and feel the need to go make some! I love both of those bars, but believe it or not, the plain one is just my absolute fave!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaybee23 Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 I really like them both, but I am with you PA, I just love a plain bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryinCary Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Another white soap lover here....they both look perfect, but that white just says "bathe with me". Beautiful soaps!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenda Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Your soaps are gorgeous! I've got a couple of his molds too. One large one that has a cutter arrangement on on end, and a mold that has a divider down the middle that you can leave in or take out. I like them, but haven't made a log batch in a long time. Your soaps look wonderfully creamy! Might have to break one of them out again.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenniejr Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Sharon ........... I'm gonna go broke following you around! LOL I just got to Walmart and picked up one of those drawer organizers! I really like those molds you have there. Might have to get me one of those now too. Sooner or later I'll find one I really like and stick with it. As usual, your soaps are devine!

Jcandleattic Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 I love that material that those molds are made out of. I have a Kelsei mold and love it. I bought some of the material in hopes of having my hub make a mold for me and well, that was about 18 months ago, and the materials are still in the garage in the bag I bought it in!! LOL LOVE the look of your soaps though. Very nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Boy if I ever catch that soaping bug I just may ... may ... may want to put something like this on my wish list for gifts lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeana Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 The swirl showed up really pretty. I really like how you make the tops tall. How do you avoid getting ash on the top? I typically have to cover mine to avoid ash, but this would smash the cool tops.And what was the website for these molds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwahlton Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Those look great. I just showed hubby the kelsei mold yesterday and told him he needs to make molds like that.

Monica Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 We have used these molds for over a year..they are greaT~! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donna4909 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 I've been wanting to get some of those molds forever. Finally got my mom talked into buying me a couple for my birthday next week. I can't wait! The linerless feature is the whole reason I want them. Lining molds sucks! *lol* Also, with these molds, there will be no ugly end pieces from where the freezer paper is folded. And going by the Summer Bee Meadow calculator (it can resize a recipe to fit the dimension of your mold), a 3 5/8" x 9" x 2 1/4" mold will hold 43.15 ounces of wet soap, so 2 lbs and 11.15 ozHere's the link to that calculator: http://www.summerbeemeadow.com/SitePages/MakingBarSoapsIndex.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
