I made a new mold this week, it is an oval from PVC pipe. It came nice, I greased it up with Vaseline sealed off the bottom with cling and poured me some soap!
This morning, I just can't help but play, I considered demolding the soap I made this weekend in it. From the first appearance I could see slight separation around the edges (separation from the mold, not separation of the soap ) and figured I would try and get it out.
Well, I shook it. That didn't work. I tried to seal my face to the opening and blow it. That didn't work either. I took some cling and crammed a rag inside it hoping that would make enough of a seal to plunger it out. That didn't work. Then it got to be time to leave for work.
I didn't want to mess with it too much, it is too early to remove this morning anyway to so I just set it upright and it will sit until I get home tonight.
I plan on trying to blow it out again. If that doesn't work I think I will either try to make a plunger from wood. However, before I go to that much trouble I may toss it in the freezer for a little while and see if that helps first. How long to people usually freeze soap for removal? Are you just trying to chill it or actually let it freeze rock solid?
