firegirl Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 okay.. searched forever.. just for clarification.. I am looking for a slab mold that requires no liner. Could you please tell me which one is your favorite no liner slab mold? I bought a couple log molds on ebay that were the plastic cutting board material, but he is not making the slabs yet.. he did say he was working on it though.. I don't want to wait.. imagine that... so any information would be fabulous!Teri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kymber Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Not sure how Kelsi is doing on production BUT Upland is on vacation or something till August last time I looked...weird! TOG makes a great mold but appears to be impossible to get a hold of him. I am looking for some new large size double log molds of which I think his are the best....but since I can't get a hold of him I am looking elsewhere right now.

BLSoaps Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 This is a little different from what you're probably looking for, but it might still help. (from www.cumberlandacoustics.com - the divided soap mold)http://cumberlandacoustic.com/db4/00399/cumberlandacoustic.com/_uimages/dividedmold2.jpgTechnically it's for logs. The dividers can be slid in after you pour the soap if you're doing all the same scent. Or you can do four completely separate batches. It's very flexible, and a wonderful mold. I've been debating calculating how much I'd need to pour to use it slab style, but I've been playing major catch up on soap making, and don't have time to pour that little at a time. But I bet it would work great. I'd slide the dividers in after pouring, so you'd only need to figure out where to cut for one side of the bar (hope that made sense! LOL!).It's just a thought for a different alternative! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsDammit Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 I wanted to order a Kelsei a few months ago, emailed them, but never got a response. :undecided Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arkangel Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 I wanted to order a Kelsei a few months ago, emailed them, but never got a response. :undecidedRita (Kelseis) is always REAL good at getting back to folks promptly. I'm sure she didn't get your email or it ended up in a spam folder or something. I'd try and contact here again. You can order the mold right off the site. I have 2 of her original wooden divider molds (with the acrylic ring and dividers) that I bought probably 7 years ago. They still work great. I also have one of the newer 'mini' molds. I think these are even more heavy duty than the wooden ones. Works great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firegirl Posted May 19, 2007 Author Share Posted May 19, 2007 Okay.. I got a message from TOG.. he sent pics of his molds.. they look wonderful! I forwarded it to you Kymber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 You could try the Soaphutch. Three of us that I know of have log molds he custom made for us and I thought the price was very good. I'm sure he'd made a slab mold etc. to your specs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasBrat Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 I love my small Kelsei but I hate trying to get the dividers out, they are a pain to remove. I thought about a Misty Creek but they aren't selling right now and I don't want an Upland or another Kelsei. But I do need a larger slab since my 9 bar is just to small.

CareBear Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 TB - what's the prob with the dividers? occasionally give mine the lightest coating with mineral oil, and to remove grab with a pair of vise grips and pull. They come out easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasBrat Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 I hadn't thought about greasing them up, I'll give that a try and see if that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
