Placing the Rope

The 3D molds are great because the funnel shape on the top allows a snug place to stick the rope before you pour the soap. With the mold standing upright, gently push the rope far enough in so that the ends are at the center of the bar. You don't want the rope to touch the bottom or the sides of the bar. This rope is a fairly thick natural cotton, so it's staying put pretty easily. If you're using a more slippery nylon, it helps to tuck the rope under one of the rubber bands.

If you're using a single cavity mold...stay tuned, we'll place the rope in those molds in a minute.
