I bought a plastic, 8-bar mold for a M&P soap and it worked out fine. I used that same mold for my first "from scratch" batch of goat milk soap and just demolded it; big chunks came away with the mold.
I used the following from a published recipe:
coconut oil 76 33%
Crisco 13%
Castor oil 6.5%
sunflower oil 20%
almond oil, sweet 27%
I'm thinking the formulation was too soft. Should I rebatch it? What can I do to increase the hardness?
