Teach Soap

I have a hard time getting my soaps out of the mold. I almost broke my last mold. Any suggestions on how to make soap removal easier?

The easiest way to get the soaps out is to put them in the freezer. I don't know if you used honey or another additive that may be causing the soaps to adhere unusually, but if you get the soaps really cold and flex your mold, you should be able to get them out.

Let me know what happens!

I agree. You could also try wiping the inside of the mold lightly with mineral oil, then put it in the freezer. That should help pop it right out.

Just be careful when using the freezer method to be very gentle with your mold. When it gets cold, plastic gets brittle and it can break more easily if you flex it too much - don't force it!

Always keep in mind that losing a few bars of soap is much cheaper than having to replace a broken mold. And M&P soap can almost always be remelted to try it again.

Of course you can avoid most of these problems by using flexible molds like the ones found here http://www.brambleberry.com/molds_flex.html
