OutlandishLady Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Is there some secret to getting the mold to come off of the soap? Holy crap it feels like I used Super Glue to put it together.Any hints/tips/tricks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Lilac Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Sorry I can't help you, but I have seen "Mr Do Right Mold" a couple of times, may I ask what they look like, got a pic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meridith Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 I don't have one of these but I have a Kelsie. These look like they are made from the same material that the Kelsie molds are made from. If so, I can tell you that removing soap from the mold should get easier with time. How long ago did you make this batch? Have you tried popping it in the fridge for a bit? With my Kelsie, I just slide slide the soap off the mold. I hope you can get it removed quickly.

Kymber Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 I quit using my baltic birch for the same reason AND ended up breaking 2 of the dividers trying to get them out. But anyway.....if this is a slab mold with no dividers (or a loaf mold) go buy some funky foam at Hobby Lobby (or whever and cut a piece for the bottom of the mold and 4 pieces for the sides. Line your mold with this and soap comes right out and the liners peel right off the soap! After you peel the liners off you can then put the soap back in the mold to cut it if you cut in the mold. It is amazing! Then you just swish the liners in warm soapy water to wash them and put them back in the mold for next time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scented Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Ummm Malinda ... no clue how to help you. I think MA and grumpy were the two to buy these molds that I remember. Kymber? Seriously? The soap doesn't soak into the foam? Man that would be a lot more fun to play with (thinking) than the flexible cutting mats I have chopped into all kinds of sizes and have since forgotten what molds they fit into.

OutlandishLady Posted November 30, 2006 Author Share Posted November 30, 2006 I FINALLY got it loose. It took a knife, time in the freezer & some fishing line to get there. Hopefully these will season like my Kelsei 'cause that was WAY too much work. Luckily it was soap for me, so the banged up corners & failed swirls won't matter. It was Ibiza Hippie from WSP and it smells sooo good. I may try the foam too. Thanks for all offered advice y'all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swamp_deb Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 When I used mine, I lined it with clear wrap. Since that kinda defeated the purpose, mine sits on the shelf. I've been thinking about selling it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I have never had soap soak into the foam...works like a charm. AND it's cheap....89 cents I think for a 12" x 18" sheet of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scent Cellar Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Kymber, what section of Hobby Lobby is the funky foam located? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kymber Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 I found it in the kids hobbies and craft section...they had a big rack of it. I bought white and tan because I wasn't sure how the colored stuff would react to soap? I have all my molds lined with it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindsaycb Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 I have the same molds...and I tell you...I bent the bottom just trying to peel it off the soap. So yes, my mold sits here too...I wish it wasn't sooo tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutlandishLady Posted December 1, 2006 Author Share Posted December 1, 2006 I'm thinking I should've saved my $$ & bought another Kelsei. I'll try the foam thing too though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 I have some foam I bought and hope to give it a shot this weekend. But then again I have some of that golden shea to work with - and I still need to find a way to fit the car into the garage so I should be working on that....Nah, soap!

dcroome2005 Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 I have 5 of his molds and I have the same problem dang it. I thought it was my recipe. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Girl Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 If you put these molds into the dishwasher, I found you will have this problem. I just soak mine in the sink in hot water now and rinse them off and they don't stick. The Man put mine into the dishwasher and I found that rubbing them down with Mineral Oil worked wonders until they were seasoned again from use.HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutlandishLady Posted December 2, 2006 Author Share Posted December 2, 2006 Yep, I'm hoping they will work better after a few more batches. I got the small ones primarily to test new FOs and play with stuff for little ol' moi. Maybe I'll add another Kelsei to my Xmas list though, you know, just in case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queenmama1 Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 I bought one of these, and was verrrry unhappy the first time I used it. Now I rub a light coat (very thin) of mineral oil on the inside, and it worked much better. Sandi GGoodStuff Bath & Body Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'll add another Kelsei to my Xmas list though, you know, just in case Max, the man that makes the Kelsie molds still has not started making molds again since his accident some months back. He is in the process of physical therapy and is slowly working his way back into his shop and plans on resuming making his wonderful molds just as soon as he is physically capable of doing so. But keep that Kelsie on your list. It doesn't have to be for Christmas and you deserve to splurge on yourself at any time of the year.
