Making Loaf Soap with Bread Tube Molds

Instructions:

- Melt approximately 2 oz. of soap base.

- Fill metal end cap of loaf mold with this melted soap so that it fills the end cap ¾ of the way full.

- Immediately insert the loaf mold into the end cap and stand straight up with the opening at the top. Other end cap will not be used.

- Place the mold in the freezer for approximately 15 minutes to allow the soap to harden or let harden at room temperature for approximately 1 hour. This will seal the bottom of the mold so that your warm soap base will not run out the bottom when poured.

- Once the bottom is completely sealed, pour melted soap base into the mold so that it completely fills up to the top.

- Let soap dry at room temperature for approximately 3-4 hours until the soap is completely hard.

- When completely dry, remove end cap from the bottom. Peel away any soap that is sticking to the sides.

- To remove the loaf of soap from the mold, warm the outside of the mold slightly with a hair dryer for approximately 2-3 minutes.

- Push the loaf of soap from one end and slide it out the other end.

- Once the loaf is removed and completely dry, slice to desired sizes.
