soaphutch molds
I am still waiting to hear back from Rich too. It's a bit frustrating. I've looked at the Kelsei molds. Does anyone have anything to say for or against them? I would like to know if the dividers snap together before you push them down into the soaps like Rich's do. Re: Logan Bear molds. I had a few batches that stuck really, really badly. I upped my sodium lactate to 3% and waited a good 24 to 48 hours before removing the lid. I use a knife tip or screwdriver to start the ends sliding and separating from the soap. I always line the bottom - it's just easier. After the sides are off, I flip the whole thing over, take off the paper and let it air dry for an hour or two before pressing the bars gently down around the edges until they release. With regular use, and liberal use of mineral oil, I have come to really love it. Unfortunately, Jeff is no longer in the mold business. Rich will make me one that has my bar dimensions, IF I can ever get hold of him.
