I use this mold for soap (cold process), but any type of soaping will work. The mold is silicone so all you have to do is place mold upside down after soap is ready to unmold. (cold process: 24 to 48 hours; melt and pour: about three hours) Once mold is upside down, gently press with heel of your hand to release air pocket. Then you can switch to thumbs to continue removing. It's simple and quick.

I think the manufacturer of the mold should address this. I used the WILTON Candy Melts and you don't heat that very hot. When I make hard candy, the liquid is very hot and I would be very concerned the mold would melt.

I only use mine to make soap once I ad lye to the fat. Sorry I can't help you

Yes. Turn the mold over and release the bottom from the top. It should slide out. I have been using my mold for 20 years.

I don't use this product for soap making. I use it for curing Olives so I won't be any help with your soap making project. Sorry.

I actually don't use it for pouring into mold type of work, but I have seeing and read people do this to make lifecast "masks" out of molds. Maybe this tutorial might be of help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLD3uA9UEOM

Oh yes. That is what this mold is made for. It worked beautifully for my chocolates. Just be sure to chill mold about 15-20 minutes before trying to unmold, otherwise the chocolate will break apart or will not release very well. Hope this helps.

Simple dish soap and water, just like a sponge. Make sure you wring it out really well. Give it a good squeeze to get out most of the water so bacteria doesn't grow. Then let it dry out. It won't take long to dry if you wring it out well. In case you haven't noticed, that is the key.

Never had that problem. It's simple. Just before removing the mold, run it under warm water at the faucet. It should slide right out.

Try dipping bottom of mold in HOT water for a few seconds, this often loosens jello from molds. If it still sticks try again. I have not used it with this mold, but I hope it helps.

Have you tried running hot water over the mold? I have only frozen ice and juice mixed to beat the heat, but I have to take the individual pop and run the blue mold under hot water and rub it and then am able to remove it. I think leaving it out for a few minutes may help too.

We used ours for soap molds and it worked well. We have not tried any other additional uses for this mold.

I am using these molds for soap molds but I bake also and would suggest using a "heavier, more dense" cake to use in these molds. Make sure they are cool before you remove. Good luck!

i don't have the Brambleberry cube mold but have other molds specifically for soap. I use this mold for M&P; soap however, it is very flexible. Unlike my other "soap" molds, this mold must be supported with a sheet pan (or heavy cookie sheet). You cannot move the mold at all until the soap hardens. (You can move the sheet pan with the mold though. Just not the mold itself.) However, once the soap hardens, they pop out very easily. I have used this specific brand both for soaps and for food preparation. I love them and have many styles, shapes and sizes.I don't know the dimensions of the cubes but the mold holds about 2 lbs of M&P; i don't have the Brambleberry cube mold but have other molds specifically for soap.

Never put cool water in hot pan. let cool and then wash. I never use soap in stainless steel. rinse out with warm water using sponge and Barkeepers Friend, dry thoroughly and it will always shine like need

This is a melt and pour soap base. Very east to use. You can melt in microwave 20-30 second increments, add fragrances and/or other additives, and pour into your molds. Sets up within a couple hours, depending on size of molds. Can also use a double boiler. Careful of over heating, it may affect lathering properties, and hot soap base can cause burns. Heed warnings on the package. This soap base is one of my favorites!

I use mine for soap, but this mold is very flimsy. I can almost see thru the silicone it is so thin. It works fine for soap and the heat doesn't seem to hurt, but you would want to support it well .
