How do I get this out of the mould???

Hi Everyone
Yesterday I made soap and poured it into my log mould. I lined the mould with silicone paper, as I have done every other time I have used this mould. But my soap won't come out! Why not? Usually I can just grab onto the paper that hangs over the edges and lift and out comes the soap. It is stuck so tight, that I actually ripped the silicone paper trying to pull it out. Any hints? I think that this batch of soap is ruined.

Try freezing it for a bit.

Okay, good idea!! Thanks Jody, I'll let you know how I go.

Freeze yes thats that way

Once you have tried that freezing trick you will just about always using it.

Does that mean it works? Because I have all my fingers and toes crossed that it is going to work!!

It will work. I do it a lot. Not so much in the woodrn molds but almost ALWAYS in the plastic molds. Works great.
