maryann Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Not sure what happened all I know is I had a mess-LOL. I wiped most up ASAP (in the middle of pouring into the mold) as I didn't know what it would do to the cabinet. It looks OK but I was going for a dark red sandwiched between 2 white layers-that didn't happen. My new mold said it was for 3lbs and it only holds 2lbs. I tried using a gold mica as well for the first time. I sprinkled it on the soap and that didn't work well.:undecided Can't wait to see how the rest of my batches come out (hopefully not on the ground).

CareBear Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Purty! And the mess could be worse!Your mold capacity probably included the water weight as well... Some vendors mess with our heads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mystical_angel1219 Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Is that a Doright mold? Yes, they definitely don't hold what he claims they do.I think you did a great save on this soap. :smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morganst Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 the soap that made it into the mold looks fab. same question - is that a mr. doright mold? same thing happened to me. Just adjust your recipe. My 32oz (2lb) recipe had to be reduced to 24oz for it to fit in the mold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carriegsxr6 Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 ooooh crap, what a mess. :undecided The soap looks great though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel91805 Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Hmmm...that soap sure is pretty though. So, what scent is that?Hmmm...yeah, if it's a Do-Right, the amounts are off....my "4 pound" molds only hold 2.5 pounds of oil or 40oz.

Michi Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 yah, I probably would've freaked too if my cupboards looked as nice as yours, mine are over 14 years old, and thrashed, so I would've been more concerned about my soap! LOLEven so, that soap in the mold looks like you spent plenty of time with it, obviously it wasn't a fast mover huh? It's sooo pretty, love the color!Where's the cut pics???

maryann Posted April 26, 2007 Author Share Posted April 26, 2007 Scent is Solas Be Delicious - I'm just alittle behind on soaping (as this is from Jennie's co-op). I have approx 20 FOs I would like to get in soap- 4 down, 16 to go!I did Cas's Honey and Milk, and Kojiki as well. Both are nice in soap.YES it is Mr Do Right molds. I'm VERY disappointed in the size bar it makes :undecided. Plus I'm having a hard time getting the sides off. I'm hoping it just needs to be seasoned. I have a friend in the Air Force that in his spare time works w/ this material. He was sent to the Middle East in November so when he gets back I'm hoping to have him make me a few molds to my specs. I definately think the 3lbs were including the liquid and I did the recipe for just oils.This actually did clean up easy compared to wax I'll take a soap spill any day over a wax spill! I'm just glad it was in the laundry room w/ tile floors as all the other floors are wood laminate.I did cut it a few hours later- I'm sooo bad about waiting. I'll post some pics of it cut in a few days along w/ other soaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scented Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 OK how'd you save it lol! How are the cuts or have I missed them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maryann Posted May 1, 2007 Author Share Posted May 1, 2007 You didn't miss them. I have a few I need to take pics of and post, this is one. I didn't really save it- the part that spilled got wiped up and thrown away. I guess its a good thing I made more than what the mold held.
