Pouring the Soap into the 3D mold

David Fisher
With the 3D molds - once your rope is ready and your soap is ready - it's time to pour.

Slowly pour the soap into the mold making sure to overfill it just a bit. Air bubbles and the rope soaking up the soap can make the bar shrink a bit as it hardens. You want to make sure the whole sphere of the mold is filled - so overfill just a bit.

Give the mold a couple of gentle taps on the counter...and set it aside to harden. It should take 2-3 hours for melt and pour, or 24 hours for cold process.
