Here are the soaps that caused me to get angry with my silicone molds.

The green, pink and white is for my mom. It's a simple itp swirl. Used Nurture colors and fragranced with WSPs bamboo lotus.

The black, blue and white is for my brother and nephew. This is a tiger stripe with very thin lines. Also Nurture colors and fragranced with WSPs 50 shades.

The sides will need cleanup after they have firmed up a bit more.

Why are you mad at your molds? They helped you make some awesome soaps!

I take it you got some pock marks from cpop? Next time try surrounding your mold in a water bath rather than placing directly on oven rack. The water bath is an awesome buffer, especially if you have a lid too. I've never had pock marks since I started cpop'ing that way, and it's also great for gelling low water soaps. The trick is to find a pot big enough to hold your mold, but the rest is just normal business.

I learned this from newbie; she gets credit.

ETA: Whoops, I see you were mad cuz they took so long to unmold and they never did gel. Well a waterbath cpop can still help though your new wood molds will likely do the trick. Sorry for my sideways advice!
