Scented Posted May 2, 2006 Posted May 2, 2006 Boy that does look like it would be a lot of fun! Quote
Bunny Posted May 2, 2006 Posted May 2, 2006 Ok.. I gotta ask, what do you do when one side is overheating and the other side is struggling to gel? Can't wait to see them cut! Purty! Quote
KJohnson Posted May 2, 2006 Author Posted May 2, 2006 LOL well I dont know what you would do...since this is my first time....But the good news is..this is actually a 16 bar slab mold and thats just a divider in the middle..so Im sure I will use it lots to make full batches too.I cant wait til morning!!!!

Kaybee23 Posted May 2, 2006 Posted May 2, 2006 That's another thing I love about that mold, the dividers. You soap is looking good! Quote
Grumpy Girl Posted May 2, 2006 Posted May 2, 2006 Looks great girlie, don't forget the cut pics! Quote
Purple Lilac Posted May 2, 2006 Posted May 2, 2006 That is so cool. Can't wait to see them cut. Quote
Brenda Posted May 2, 2006 Posted May 2, 2006 Great looking batches! I'm looking forward to their cut pics too! :highfive: I love this feature of these molds, but hardly ever get a chance to use it since my batches are sized for the entire mold.... Maybe this summer I can mess around with smaller batches. I do love the look of your soaps. The creamy yellow of the Sunflower...mmmm! Quote
KJohnson Posted May 2, 2006 Author Posted May 2, 2006 Thank you everyone!Well this morning its still warm to the touch and gel...one edge is firm... So hopefully when I get back from taking Amanda to pre-school it will be ready to unmold!Wish me Luck! Quote
wickerbeal Posted May 2, 2006 Posted May 2, 2006 I have that same mold and never thought to put a divider in it. Great idea! Quote
KJohnson Posted May 2, 2006 Author Posted May 2, 2006 hmmm my misty mold came with a wooden divider and i just wrapped it in freezer paper and slid it right in there. Quote
elle110 Posted May 2, 2006 Posted May 2, 2006 OMG...those look absolutely yummy! I gotta get me a new mold Quote
KJohnson Posted May 2, 2006 Author Posted May 2, 2006 So this mold holds 5 pounds of soap all together... So I used the divider and made 2 2.5 pound batches...But when i cut the soap..it was REALLY thick bars. Too thick like each one weighes 8oz. So I cut them in half.When I did this is what the Black Raspberry Vanilla looks like! Quote
Kaybee23 Posted May 2, 2006 Posted May 2, 2006 Very beautiful Kris, glad to see they came out well. I have cut my recipe for the 16 bar mold to a 4 lb recipe and they come out nice size bars, if you don't want them so thick. Quote
KJohnson Posted May 2, 2006 Author Posted May 2, 2006 thanks Kerry I am going to use it again tonight and make some kitchen soap scented Cool Citrus Basil...I will adjust my recipe to 4 pounds. Quote
Scented Posted May 4, 2006 Posted May 4, 2006 Now that's honkin' bars! QUite pretty! OK so this BRV isn't going to go brown on you is it? I read somewhere that there's a BRV that won't brown and I can't find where that was. Arg! Quote
