Cannot unmold my soap

[ibct1969]

Hi all,

I made a small batch of soap (in one of those 4 inch square Brambleberry molds) last Saturday the 11th. Today is Saturday the 18th. It will not come out of the stinkin mold. Is it because of the high percentage of olive do you think? What the heck can I do to get this soap out? Any guidance is appreciated!

Is it still too soft, or just sticky in there? If it is hard enough, but won't come up, you can freeze it for a little while to help

The recipe doesn't seem like one that would be that soft for so long. Did you zap test?
I second freezing it. It should pop out easily after that.

That is not a high % of OO.
That recipe should have unmolded in <24hrs.
When you are making small amounts you have to be really careful to ensure accurate weights of each element. It sounds to me as if it didn't trace or you measured something inaccurately. You can wait longer, freeze it or throw it.

lol!!! @ Honey I shrunk the kids FO...,

That recipe is really close to one of my recipes and I unmold at Maybe 8-10 hours.

I'm going to throw it in the freezer. Thanks all.
