Scented Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 OK I tried way too many new things in this and it will likely show, but according to Karol I have to wait three days minimum to remove the soap. My fingers are crossed it works, since this is for the patchouli swap. It's a new recipe, new mold, new utensils via a gift from MA (they worked fabo!), part new color (not sure I like what the SS orange is doing (going way lighter than a blood orange color that's for sure) and I tried the squeeze bottle just on top though and well ... my lack of patience shows, but this was fairly easy and I would love to make it work in a more creative way. Outside of that, I feel totally new at doing this since I've not soaped in 4 months. [ATTACH]11250[/ATTACH] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystical_angel1219 Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 It looks like a yummilicious log of orange chocolate fudge! You know I hate Patchouli, but this one sounds interesting. Love the texture on the top, and Karol is right on with leaving the soap in the mold. I learned this early in my soaping adventures, it makes a world of different IMO when you go to slice it. Great work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jadryga Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Actually... it looks rather like marble cake with some chocolate syrup drizzled on top. Yum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morganst Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Looks delish - good enough to lick So, you need to wait at least 3 days before unmolding? I missed that story. How is it better? The last time I waited to unmold I couldn't even cut it properly without it breaking off at the bottom of each slice although I think that was because I had sodium lactate in that batch. I don't know if i'd be patient enough to wait 3 days :undecided Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted April 29, 2007 Author Share Posted April 29, 2007 Actually... it looks rather like marble cake with some chocolate syrup drizzled on top. Yum! OOOOOhhh Oh Oh! Actually that sounds really good lol!Thanks for the comments. That orange is way lighter now, sniff, sniff.Well Morgan it's a brand new mold and though it's oiled with mineral oil I hear if I try to remove the sides for three days it will screw them up. When I bought the mold I should have been using it instead of staring at it's beauty lol. Till it's seasoned I guess soap needs to stay in it for three days. Yeah it might kill me to have to wait that long to cut it, but I am not that great at swirling and may have played too long in this one. I know I played too long on the love spell one, which I may wait a day to cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimberly Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 If I had to wait 3 days before unmolding I would NEVER soap! lolI sometimes dont even wait a full 24hrs and have never had a problem.Post cut pics...looks good so far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll stick in the oven at 8:00pm, turn it off at 9:30pm and have it all sliced up and looking pritti by 7:00am the next morning (before work). the anticipation of it all gets me out of bed at 5:30am.

Scented Posted April 29, 2007 Author Share Posted April 29, 2007 Only waiting because the mold will tear up my soap and since I'm listening to someone who has the same mold and told me what would happen, well ... we're waiting. I just shouldn't have waited so long to break in this mold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
