you can use silicone caulking and coat your mold. It still doesn't quite do the trick for me so I do that and then once it's dry and ready to use I use just a strip of freezer paper lengthwise so that I have something to grab to help ease the soap out of the mold. Hope that helps

very nice! I am growing loofah this year but have to wait till fall for it to be ready. I hope I can wait that long before making some!

I've been planning on doing some chocolate/cocoa butter soaps the last few days and haven't made it that far yet. Maybe they'll get done this weekend :)

Lovely! What do you do with the larger heart and crescent moon shapes? Do you slice them? I have seen similar molds and was tempted to get them but then wasn't sure. Just curious

WOW! That looks REALLY good! I'm impressed!

WOW, that is some crazy color! I haven't experiemented with colors yet. Love it! I was thinking mango by the sea, which would be horrible sense people would probably want it to smell like mango lol. I love calypso

awwwe!

If I made dog soap I think I would do something very basic and plain. I'm nervous about how EO's might affect the pup.

I think the initial question was just a bit broad. lol I'm sure pizza boxes work great but I'm a recycling junkie so I use flats that would otherwise get thrown away.

It's kind of the same with "beer". Lets drink some beer sounds better to me than lets drink some beers. I drink beer vs. I drink beers... the second kind of makes it sound like I've already consumed some! lol I like soap or if you are going to pluralize it I like soapies! tehehehe :lol:

I agree. I like that people here are friendly and open. On some other boards people are just jerks and downright vulgar. Thanks for everyone's help in making another soap addict! lol

ooh, good idea! I do the same thing but with a shredded up bar of fels naptha instead of my own soap. Also, the first time around I couldn't find washing soda so I used Oxy clean and it worked just fine. Now I know what to do with all those scraps! :)

I guess that would work. I personally like having flexibility with the recipes and like combining everything together myself.

my dog does the same thing at the screen door to my soap shack!

gorgeous pic! Love the background!

I used the same stuff the lady talked about in the tutorial. And I did 2 thin layers as stated. If you read all of that post you will find many people did NOT have the same success she did. I think it has a lot more to do with the non flexibility than the silicone. I still just...

I would say their isn't really a recipe for that. Just make a batch and divide it up and color it differently then pour into the desired pattern. I think that would involve to much clean up for me :lol:

I've never done anything like this but I think (and I could be wrong) that you might be better off trying to mix it with oil instead of water.

That's what I did. And I've heard a lot of people just use their regular soap for shampoo.

I did this with the same molds and it's still a bit difficult to remove because the wood mold is not very flexible. So, I still kind of line my molds. I take one long strip of freezer paper and lay it in the mold lengthwise so that they hang over the sides. It still takes a bang or two on...
