I posted a few days ago about being screwed by a seller on ebay for a faulty mold. Well, karma has come back to me in a great way!
My brother is buying his first home (my grandmother's home...can't wait to be inside it again
) and I wanted to buy him some housewarming gifts. I was looking around the kitchen section when I came across this product:
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Mainstays-Kit ... t/15231393
What do you see when you look at it? I see gifts for my brother, and a PERFECT mold for me!! It was only $19.97!
Went home and soaped a batch and eureka...it's absolutely perfect! Made a superfat soap with shea and cocoa butter with GM and less than 24 hours after I popped it in the freezer, it came right out! I did spray with nonstick first, but still.
I just tried cutting it and it kind of fell apart, I think because I left it in the freezer so long. I popped it into the fridge where I think it'll set up just fine.
The silver there is duct tape from where I tried to break the mold into separate molds, and needless to say I was not successful.
Too cold, I believe....kinda cut like chocolate does when it's too hard or frozen.
A little ticked at the color. The purple dye I used ended up brownish red. I think it was due to the GM and all the extra fats. But it smells great (lavender), the swirl is nice, and it didn't zap me
Back to doing my happy dance now...
