Pushing the Soap Out

Pushing the Soap Out

David Fisher
After the soap has cooled completely, it's time to get it out of the mold. This is the only difficult part of the project. Sometimes the soap will just not want to come out of the mold!

I like to pop the mold into the freezer for about 20 minutes before I unmold. It seems to help the soap pop out better.

Pop the cap off of the soap. Then, place a standard size vegetable can under the mold. With the 3" pipe, it will just fit inside the pipe.

Slowly push the pipe down onto the can. The log of soap will start to come out the top.

Press slowly and firmly. It will move very slowly at first. Keep pushing! It will come.
