Teach Soap

Those of you with the BB 12bar silicone mold:
How do you insulate?
Plastic wrap?
Box over the top?

I put a towel under it to prevent air flow underneath, being sure to tuck in around the sides, cover with a large rainboot shoebox and another towel. Plastic wrap helps too, but of course that could smoosh the top of your soap. If you find that you are still having trouble getting a gel, you can try a heating pad underneath also.

Thanks, I'll do the box cover and towel under.....don't want smoosh

Good luck, it's a great mold to have!

That's my favorite mold for "tester" batches. The last time I used it, I got 12 different versions of a FO blend I was working on. (All girl smells by the way.....I'm still using them myself because my "man soaps" are still curing.

*bonks Dave* HP a batch sir! Then you'll have it to use!

I learn so much when I can't leave well enough alone!

I had a "seedling mat" from gardening that raises the temp about 10 degrees. It's waterproof and big. I put that under it, and then silicone mats on top, and that's usually enough to gel.

I've used a heating pad for mine, but usually I just put it in a warm oven to let it gel. (heated to the lowest temp and then turned off)
