This is the coolest soap mold

[sandyrose]

I'm going to try some MP with essential oils in a massing bar. I want to try this mold b/c it's look so unique. I'm afraid of those little thingy's falling off though. Anyone ever use this one? What do you thinK? Jeesh, it's kind of pricey too.

Also how do you think I should wrap this one? Just pull the plastic wrap tight over it?

That's pretty cool, I haven't seen one like that before.

looks like the spines will just break off. $20 seems a bit much too.

I have to agree after looking at this closely. I would really feel the spines would break off too easily. JMHO

If you decide to try it, I would suggest using what ever your choice of hardener would be in this particular bar. Be it beeswax, steric, etc. Something that hardens it up REAL good, would really suit this type of bar and I think it would be fine.

And oh yeah, I wouldn't try doing the spines in one color and the base in another, lol... that WOULD definitely be adding to the issue of the spines breaking off. But they aren't exactly toothpick sized so I don't know, but I can imagine a really hard bar actually working great.

But then again, I personally would NEVER spend $20 on a single mold, lol.

I work at Bath & Body Works, and in our men's line we have massaging soaps. The "spines" are a lot shorter though, really more like half spheres. Maybe a mold more like that would work.
