When the soap is ready to release, gently separate the two halves, until one side separates from the other. To release the soap from the remaining half, lightly and steadily twist the mold (ice tray style).
To trim your soap, score the cast on both sides with a small knife, where the funnel meets the bar. Then bend the funnel excess, back and forth until it breaks away from the bar. Lastly, trim the excess material or "flashing" from the bar.
Unmolding M&P Soap: Most M&P soap can be unmolded from our two-part molds in 4 hours at room temperature. To expedite the unmolding time, after the soap solidifies, chill it to 55-60°F within the mold by placing it into the freezer for 15 minutes, or into the refrigerator for 1 hour. This will make the soap much easier to unmold, and in a fraction of the time at room temperature.
Unmolding CP Soap: It is recommended to let the soap set in the molds for as long as necessary, usually 18-24 hours, until the soap has sufficiently solidified.
