I’m still putting in all my efforts to see if I can be a good soap maker. Now usually I have high expectations, but at this point I know that there are soap experts out there and it’s out of my reach at this time. I’m just looking for the category ‘good’.
So my last adventure was to make the soap ‘Barefoot in the grass’ and the soap smell and look was just what I was hoping for. But I also wanted to try out a new mold that I had bought. It was one of those fancy ones that you can put in the sections so your soap comes out nice and clean and without any cutting.
OK, sure.
I noticed when I bought it there was a lot of comments on how some people couldn’t get it apart and seriously I thought how hard can this be? I saw a YouTube video of someone doing it and it didn’t look bad at all. And you know that the web never lies right?
So once the soap set up it was time to take it out of the mold. Now I know that I get less and less patient as I get older – but HOLY COW this wasn’t working.. at all!
I tried all the tricks that was suggested on how to get the mold apart and I finally got out a knife and cut the soap out of the mold. Now seriously it didn’t even look too bad and I used the dividers as the guide so my lines were somewhat straight.
So step # 1 with my mold – unsuccessful.
