Ideally, with melt and pour soap, your soap should be popping out of the molds with low to medium effort.

If you add anything to melt and pour, it can make it more sticky and soft and more likely to "grab" the molds.

If the soap isn't coming out of the molds and you're not adding anything to the soap and you've waited 4 to 8 hours, you can pop the molds in the freezer for 5 minutes and then gently push the soap out.

When plastic gets into the freezer, I notice it has a propensity for getting more brittle so keep that in mind when using the freezer. Also, soap that is left too long in the freezer tends to develop condensation which is never fun.

Congrats on getting some great and useful Christmas presents!
