Teach Soap

I am using the scalloped shape square soapy love mold. I am having the hardest time unmolding are there any tips or tricks for unmolding using this particular mold. I have not had as hard time using any other molds. But this one is giving me the blues. I feel like I'm about to snap it.

Thanks for your help!

Have you tried the freezer for a bit?

I haven't tried that particular mold but with the difficult molds I've had in the past, popping it in the freezer for 10-15 minutes and then running warm water over the back (non-exposed) side has always helped. Good luck!

May I ask if you filled the mold to the top? Sometimes this makes it harder to remove. I usually leave 1/8 to 1/4 inch
space at the top to help get some air in and break the vacuum. The freezer can shrink the soap a touch and make unmolding easier also. Good luck.

I've had a hard time with the soapy love star shaped molds when I was making bath fizzies. It looked so easy when I saw the how-to video but when I tried to unmold them they fell apart. I then gathered everything back up re-worked it and put in another mold and they came out just fine.
