    Stains from soap on ED Red Silicone molds

    Does anyone else have this problem? Time I unmold i put in warm soapy water and when it dries there are lines where the soap batter was. When I use it next and go to unmold the soap where the lines are the soap kind of sticks to it. Any suggestions on how to remove the stains? TIA

    Question on adding weight of embeds

    When you do embeds do you subtract it's weight from your total oils for the size of the mold? EX: My total weight for mold is 38oz, but if my embed weighs 10oz's do I subtract it's weight from the oils to make 28oz's so that the total weight is 38oz's? I just can't think this morning...lol TIA
