scntdwik Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I doug out a new mold I purchased quite some time ago to make some bars for my BF and the lettering in the bottom stuck when I took the soaps out of the mold.It is a plastic mold with lettering in the bottom quarter inch of the mold. I poured white into the letters and then a color over top to fill them up.I just un-molded them and only 1 of the 4 bars came out in tact, the other 3 came out, but parts of the letters stuck in the bottom of the mold.I have other molds similar to this one and have never had this issue before.What did I do wrong?

This will help with layer adhesion.. that's the only thing I can think of that might help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
