Bunny Posted May 2, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJohnson Posted May 2, 2006 Author Share 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!!!!

Brenda Posted May 2, 2006 Share 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!

wickerbeal Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 I have that same mold and never thought to put a divider in it. Great idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJohnson Posted May 2, 2006 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elle110 Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 OMG...those look absolutely yummy! I gotta get me a new mold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJohnson Posted May 2, 2006 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaybee23 Posted May 2, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
