Barbara AL Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I used Southern Garden's Scents 6 cavity mold for $6.00 this is my favorite mold for making Saltbars!! I used 16 ounces of oils and 14 ounces of salts to fill the 6 cavities. I put my mold in the oven on 170 for 25 minutes and after 1 hour they just fall out.Purple is Love Spell, Raspberry colored is Black Raspberry Vanilla, Green colored in Cucumber Essence and the off white is Oatmeal Milk & honey with ground oatmeal in there.Thanks for lookingBarbara AL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefly Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 They all look scrumptious, you did a great job. You just left them in for 25 minutes at 170 and then took them out and let them set for hour? I'll have to check out that mold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara AL Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share Posted July 1, 2009 I left them in the mold for about 1 hour after I took them out of the oven to cool down and then turn them over on a paper towel and they just fell out.Barbara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meridith Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Those are the same molds I now use for my salt bars. I bought a few a couple months ago and I just love them. Your colors are great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barbara AL Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share Posted July 1, 2009 I shrink wrap them and put a label on the flat side of the bar.Barbara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deb426 Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I love the salt bars. You B&B people make such nice stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara AL Posted July 2, 2009 Author Share Posted July 2, 2009 Rae,Would you like for me to send some to you so you and your DH can test some? The saltbars feel so great in the Summer after being out in the hot and humid weather you feel so squeaky clean after using them.Barbara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara AL Posted July 2, 2009 Author Share Posted July 2, 2009 Singleyellowrose,I like to keep mine out as long as possible to cure. I like my saltbars about 3 months after I make them the longer the cure the more milder they are. I might wait two or three months to wrap them then I shrinkwrap them with the ends open.These saltbars I made today will go as Xmas presents by that time they will be really mild.Barbara AL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wildcrafter Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Does anyone else make a mold like that, perhaps more cavities, that can go in an oven? I do my salt bars in a 25 inch long log mold and I tell you, cutting them gets iffy sometimes as they want to crumble. I like the idea of not having to cut them. Thanks!
