Carrie Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Who's ordered the new molds? How do they compare to the old ones. They are supposed to be more flexible and easier to remove the soap. I've beening thinking of ordering some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecandlespastore Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I did not have any of the old molds but I do have the new molds. I use them to make apres glow bars. They popped out pretty easily with a few hours of freezer sitting. I will try making some cp tonight in them and let you know how it goes.

jbren Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I think the plastic is a bit softer on the newer ones. The easiest way to unmold soap from them has no 'twisting' involved. Just press your thumbs along the long side of the soap and press, they will roll out. The only time I've ever put them in the freezer is when I used them for an ungelled soap.

Carrie Posted March 12, 2008 Author Share Posted March 12, 2008 Thanks, both of you. My soap recipe doesn't come out like that jbren. I've dented so many bars. Now I turn them upside down and run them under hot water for a few seconds, then I push with my thumbs, just like you and they slide right out. I've been hoping that the new ones would twist without breaking. I use them for salt bars and man soap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried this tonight on my new molds. Did a HP soap last week and them and was uncertain on how to get the soap out of them so I just left them in. It worked right away.How the heck would you get a salt bar out of these? Those set up fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try wiping a small amount of mineral oil on the inside of the cavities with a paper napkin. After they are set up, use the technique mentioned above either with or without the freezer.
