Hi, I love MW molds but I'm going crazy losing a lot of bars because the design often doesn't stay when I pull the soaps out. I lose about 50 percent of the bars--too much. I usually freeze the molds an hour or so to help them pop out. I have tried various kinds of olive oils--from pomace to EV, from brushing them thickly to laying it in thinly. I still only pull a cleanly molded soap about half the time. Wondering if anyone has any suggestion for a better release agent? I've also tried mineral oil, but no luck with that.
Thanks in advance! :-D
 
I don't use anything. Mine pop out no problem after a couple of days. If they stick at all I was told freeze it over night and it will pop right out, then let it defrost before you do any trimming or cutting.
 
Freezing helps, but you need more of it (either more time, or lower temperatures).
 
Re Release Problem

Thank you to everyone for your suggestions. I really appreciate it!
