I love our wooden molds, but we are trying to move into a smaller workspace - a closet actually to store our soap making supplies. So I have made a mold out of cardboard and craft foam, it unfolds into one flat piece and is very easy to store.

I've read about how craft foam only works a time or two then starts to pit the soap. I was thinking about using silicone caulking on the craft foam, for a more permanent non-stick surface.

My question is - Has anyone tried this before? I'm not sure how the silicone will react with the craft foam.

I've attached a picture of a mini version of the mold, made for testing, the bigger mold will be tied together so it unfolds.

I have not tried it, I just line mine with freezer paper. You could try making your own silicone liner like in this Soaping101 video: [ame]http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GKClapkhZxo[/ame]
