Godiva Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 I used Funky Foam with no issues, but the Hobby Lobby available carried only the 8 x 12 size, my slab mold is 12 1/2 inches long. So I checked out the local Joannes and no Funky Foam, but they did carry Foamies in a 3 foot by 6 foot sheet, and I'm thinking should be ok. Wrong. First pic is what foamies did to my soap. Second and third is after the clean up. It's a goat's milk layered soap, no color on the bottom, TKB's green on the top, along with some ash. Fragranced with cool cucumber. My first attempt at layers and goat milk - I used powdered.PS Guess what color the foam was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapbuddy Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Could you smear some vaseline or mineral oil on the inside of the foam? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godiva Posted June 13, 2008 Author Share Posted June 13, 2008 Maybe, but I think I'll try the funky foam again, or do the mylar thing. For now, it's freezer paper.Think I'll let my grandkids play with what I have left over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quack Soap Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 I've never heard of foamies or Funky Foam ~ what are they? Molds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godiva Posted June 14, 2008 Author Share Posted June 14, 2008 I've never heard of foamies or Funky Foam ~ what are they? Molds?It's a foam sheet used for crafts - I've seen it at Joannes, Hobby Lobby and Walmart. I used it for lining my molds like some other folks on this board have. The Funky Foam brand (I found at Hobby Lobby) did not bleed - the one I used was red in color - I can't testify for any of the other colors. It made my soap look real smooth and was easy to line the mold.The Foamies brand (Joannes and Walmart) was red and is what bled onto my soap. Read somewhere on here that some people had some foam sheets that would bleed onto their soap - I thought I searched to see which brand bleeds, but either forgot or didn't get results, so I thought I'd just try this brand. Maybe this will save someone else from spending a couple bucks on the wrong kind! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donna4909 Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Oh no. So sorry about your soap! I bought some a couple weeks ago, but never got around to using it. Just looked and it is the Foamies brand. :/ Mine is white though... Perhaps it will be okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soycrazy Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 That is weird, I only use foamies, because they work best for me and never had bleeding. I like using the red mostly too. I've never tried it with a goat milk recipe though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never tried it with a goat milk recipe though.I only used foamies the one time - decided not to try it again. Had used funky foam quite a few times - but not with goat's milk. I just assumed it was the brand of foam - perhaps not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon in KY Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Looks like century old marine fossils embedded in the soap. Still very nice soap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
