Guest guest Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 Colleen, those molds are so cute!. The baby shoes are just what I'd like to do for my daughter's shower. Don't know how I missed this supplier. Thanks for the addy. Jeanine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 > Thanks for the addy. You're welcome Jeanine! I should have the soap pics uploaded in the next couple hours that I poured last night. Sorry to hear about your sister. Some smokers just don't seem to understand that their smoking is not only affecting their lives, but those of the people around them. My father has smoked since he was around 13 & quit maybe once because he developed a heart murmor and was on a blood thinner. That was a few years ago & he's right back to smoking again. How is Val doing? Is she getting all ready to welcome the baby into the world? How about ? How's his therapy going? Is he able to talk more easily now? I hope everyone is doing well there & trying to stay warm! Colleen Country Meadow Creations http://www.countrymeadowcreations.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, my son touched some of the mold when it was still liquid Sat. night, and he had an allergic reaction, getting a big blister where he touched it. I gave him Benadryl for it and put lavender oil on it right away, and he is fine now, just waiting for the blister to go away. He touched the finished mold tonight with no problem! I mentioned it thinking that people should be aware of the possibility. Thanks so much for doing that demo! I would love to do more of them in the future. It was interesting learning how to do it. :-) Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 My mold is still soft around the sides, but the top is hardening up nicely. I'll keep waiting and watching!

I've decided to wait and see what everyone thinks of this stuff. I hope it's soft enough but if it isn't we'll seek out something else. The mold Shaye had was pretty soft and that's what I'm thinking everyone will want eventually. The more detail you're after, the softer you'll want the material. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bob, I made a m & p fish soap with my mold last night. It came out pretty nicely, except that one piece came off in the unmolding. I'm going to do it again, but let it cool longer before extracting it. I was a little too eager. . . However, I am very happy with my mold. :-) Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 : Mine is pretty well done, except for one corner. I'm waiting it out. Even though the red one I did had a soft corner, which hardened up once it was exposed to air, I'm being patient on this one. I think this one had a pretty good chance of having no air bubbles so I don't want to mess it up. Anybody else luckier than us yet? I've decided to wait and see what everyone thinks of this stuff.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 Thanks Bob!.... Patience is NOT one of my virtures.... but I am waiting until the rest of you tell me that yours are done! at least I am trying to! LOL.... Mine is shallow so I think it will be cured sufficiently in another day or two.... I do hope so, anyway, because I am not sure I can refrain myself from " checking " it out a whole lot longer! <grin> And, yes, I definitely do want to try making more, so please put me on your list when you get more of the mixture!

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 I decided to try. The top 3/4 inch is fine and ready... the bottom 3/4 " is still mushy... so I stopped. I'll keep you posted. > > > > Bob, > > > > I made a m & p fish soap with my mold last night. It came out > pretty nicely, > > except that one piece came off in the unmolding.

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 Ok, you guys have teased me by far long enough LOL ; ))) I'm dying to make a silicone mold.
