Molds are two-part molds
which cast a double sided, three dimensional bar of soap. The molds feature
a built in funnel to facilitate filling, and precision keys to align the two
mold halves together. Perfect for making soap on a rope. $6.00 each. |

Blossom w/Contour seen at 4 different angles. All the 3-D molds have a
patterned front and plain back. Unless they are the basic shape molds. Then
they look pretty much the same, front and back. |

Unmold & Trim Your Soap
When the soap is ready to release, gently separate the two halves, until one
side separates from the other. To release the soap from the remaining half,
lightly and steadily twist the mold (ice tray style).
To trim your soap, score the cast on both sides with a small knife, where
the funnel meets the bar. Then bend the funnel excess, back and forth until
it breaks away from the bar. Lastly, trim the excess material or "flashing"
from the bar. |
Tips
Unmolding M&P Soap: Most M&P soap can be unmolded from our two-part
molds in 4 hours at room temperature. To expedite the unmolding time, after
the soap solidifies, chill it to 55-60°F within the mold by placing it into
the freezer for 15 minutes, or into the refrigerator for 1 hour. This will
make the soap much easier to unmold, and in a fraction of the time at room
temperature.
Unmolding CP Soap: It is recommended to let the soap set in the molds
for as long as necessary, usually 18-24 hours, until the soap has
sufficiently solidified.

Cleaning Your 3D Molds
To clean the 3D molds, you can wash them in warm soapy water, or in a
dishwasher. If using a dishwasher, run the cycle without detergent, as this
will etch the plastic over time.
3D molds are manufactured from thick ABS, which has a continuous operating
temperature of 194°F. This makes them dishwasher safe.
Please note: Not all soap molds are dishwasher safe, and therefore should
only be washed in warm soapy water. |
