Help, can't get my melt and pour soap out of my aluminum mold. Yes I'm new. I am sure my temps are all wrong and everything just wonder how do u get it out? I didn't use a liner, and was singing it.... Newbie....
For CP yes because of the toxic and caustic nature of the lye reaction to it, but with M&P the main downfall is as the OP has found out, there is no give and you can't get the soap out.but aluminum and soap are a VERY bad combo.

Z gave some good advice. freeze, bang, wrap, bang until it's out, then you have a lesson learned. If it still doen't come out, you can take a heat gun and heat the soap and pour it out and remold it in a better suited mold for M&P.
Makes sense. I've never done CP or M&P.![]()
HP, and never ever use aluminum when I do.So, what kind of soap do you make? Even HP will have a reaction to the metal. MP will not.
I have no idea how to get it out ... but aluminum and soap are a VERY bad combo. Just glad it's melt and pour and not CPHP.![]()
Thank you for responding. I'll never do it again. Lol, I popped them in the fridge about an hour, went around edges with a butter knife....and they came out alright. First pour, I'll use silicon from now on.
