How I Line my Soap Molds - For Cold Processed Soaps

[@ArianeArsenault]

Hi guys! Enjoy this one as I made it to answer a question I am asked often!

[@花蓮榮服處柳靜文]

Ariane, thank you soooo much. I very like your Shop design and video. I'm come from Taiwan.

[@thcounselor]

I tried using freezer paper to line a box I was using as a mold for beer soap, shiny side up, covered and put in the fridge for about 18 hours, took it out and unmolded, went to peel the paper off and the shiny side stuck to the soap and it was VERY difficult to get all the pieces off. I did this one other time, taking the mold out of the fridge after 12 hours and leaving it until that evening to unmold and got the same results. Not sure what I am doing wrong? Any suggestions?

[@donnahenthorn7109]

@@thcounselor Not leaving the soap in the mold long enough. Unless you are using a severe water discount it should stay at least 24 hours. I use a 2:1 water-to-lye mix and always leave at least 24 hours. Hope you figured it out by now.

[@FrederickDunn]

Hi Ariane! Just dropping in to share that your soaps are THE VERY BEST I have found anywhere. LOVE the scents and exceptional ingredients. Trying to keep my family members from walking off with my supply is a huge challenge. Thank YOU and keep doing what you do, I LOVE your soaps! :)

[@ArianeArsenault]

Frederick Dunn Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed!

[@FrederickDunn]

Oh absolutely :)

[@mathritu]

Hi Ariane, I would like to thank you for this great video, for showing how to line a slab mould. I know how to line smaller moulds but with the help of this video, now I'll be able to use my two slab moulds which I haven't used just because I didn't know how to line them up. Thank you once again.

[@OzarkSoaper]

Love the new camera , the viedos are so much clearer.

[@HowToMakeSoapOnADime]

1st- Your new camera set up looks GREAT!! 2nd- most people don't think to make their molds to fit the paper and that saves a TON of time. Thanks for sharing!

[@ArianeArsenault]

HowToMakeSoap thanks! We find out new tips snd trick along the journey!

[@kimgardner7028]

I like how you folded the corners. Thank you for sharing.

[@galaxia4709]

Oo, I miss the cutting of the soap so much! Thank you Ariane, for showing us how to line up the mold!

[@ArianeArsenault]

Galaxia This soap will be shown in another video on beer soap! I just show a little to see how nicely the soap unmolds ☺

[@galaxia4709]

I understand Ariane, and thanks again, I love watching your video's! And hopefully you'll use Belgian beer one day, the best in the world ;) I am looking forward to your next video, take care in the meantime! :)

[@daneekaplan4284]

I have been watching all of your videos! I keep meaning to tell you your English has improved so much since when I first found you. I know you have worked hard on that. Great videos.

[@SunshineSoapandCandleCompany]

This technique was absolute perfection!! Thanks for sharing.

[@la1163]

That 🎥 you bought is awesome, love how brilliant the colors are. Thanks for showing how to.

[@luzaflores3463]

Greetings from Puerto Rico. Thank you so much. This video was very useful. 💗

[@chavalnujwuttikasempanich691]

Thank you sooo much for all your videos, Im such a big fan! it has inspired me to start soaping alot...hope you come to Thailand soon and I will be your tour guide!

[@lunacruz7638]

Thank you so much for taking the time to show this technique. Sometimes its the small things that help!

[@ArianeArsenault]

Luna Cruz let me know what else would help! ☺️

[@cynnaratregarth2009]

This is fabulous, Ariane! I bought some molds and learning how to measure freezer paper is not easy. This seems simpler and where I can just measure, fold, cut and get things done. So much easier. 🛁

[@JamieLOVEUMOREJOURNALS]

Thanks for this! Really helped me understand it. I have been complicating the process unnecessarily!!!

[@daphnewright5110]

Thanks so much for sharing. This is so easy to see how to fold the freezer paper.

[@sultry1231]

Great video! So much easier than the way I've been lining my slab molds.

[@terry_679]

Thank you so much for the instructions ! I'm only using small molds, but it's always a struggle to get good corners.

[@KimMullican]

I'm so tempted to do this for my other molds. My silicone liners always seem to ripple on the sides. Another great video :D

[@ziegenvinehomestead]

I tried this technique of lining my soap mold last night! It worked great! :) Thank you for sharing!

[@soniarodriguez2072]

The video image is amazing. Very clear. Thank you for sharing.

[@EDMSOAPS-529]

Thank You. You make it look so easy. I really enjoy your videos.

[@01ttingey]

You have saved my sanity!! I have tried everything!!! 😝😤😖. Thanks and my soap box finally looks good!!

[@roseratigan4479]

Hi Ariane, This video was very helpful! I'm going to line my first slab mold right now and make my soap tomorrow. Hopefully my homemade soap will be as beautiful as yours!

[@grammadodi]

I too have a paper roll cutter. It's antique from my husband's Grandad's store. I love it. My trick is to have a length of string 24" long attached to the cutter bar so I know how long my paper needs to be...I only had to measure it once. Perfect length every time!

[@ArianeArsenault]

That is a great idea! :-)

[@catsjavachat6565]

It did help, I always struggled doing this. Thank you dear friend. Hugs...

[@rhadika22]

Omg thank you so much for sharing this with us I really appreciate it and I just love your videos I want to make soap because of you... You inspire me

[@veronicavatter6436]

[@ArianeArsenault]

Dominique D you can totally do this technique on any size mold. ☺

[@betsymcgovern4204]

Thank you you are so talented, I hope you have a great year.

[@ArcticBanshee]

Great video! I’ve just started making soap, and find the silicone liners to warp, so i think I’ll switch to freezer paper. That way I don’t have to worry about my soap looking buckled.

[@SyrianAcademy]

Thank you Ariane! I like that slab mold too.

[@DBSoap]

I have only been making soaps for a month now, so im very new to it. im from new zealand. I use silicon moulds. I find sometimes the soap is hard to get out. I have tried grease proof paper, but that sticks to it lol. learnt the hard way lol. I have been trying to find freezer paper, but im having trouble finding it. thank you for your tut, it was so easy to.understand

[@anaphylaxis2548]

[@louiselill1528]

Thank you great tip I was wondering how to do this so thank you x

[@ArianeArsenault]

louise lill there are other ways to do it but I like this one as there is no leakage and the edges of the soap come out nice and neat!

[@ginak1117]

Thank you so much love this technique, Thank u so much for sharing. I love videos like this. All your videos are informing and your very organized which helps make the tutorial easier to follow so thank u for that, I God Bless to you and your family. Your little girls are adorable and I love to hear them talk. I dont understand French but I love to hear it spoken especially your little ones cause they say things so cute. Are they also learning English cause sometimes I think I hear them say certain words in English like bath bombs unless its pronounced similar. Thank u for all u do for us u are a busy girl.

[@queenofthearies111]

I love your videos. Can I suggest that you put the HTTP in front of your store website so that I am able to just click the link for your store through my KZbin app description for your videos? Without it we have to copy and paste and on my phone it won't allow me to. love your videos! and your soap :)

[@ArianeArsenault]

Lisa Bee thanks for letting me know! I usually add it but for some reason I forgot ☺

[@seashorecanadian]

Thank you for your video! Can the freezer paper be wiped and used again? The paper was so clean when you removed it

[@terry_679]

This makes so much sense. Merci !

[@ladyamma1753]

Hi Ariane, thanks for the good job you doing out there. Am so much motivated. Am also a mother of four and have a lot of crafty ideas; but I need more directive as to how, where and when to start. If there is a way we can chat. Thank you!

[@PrettyAliceNight]

How would you know what measurements to use if your mold is a different size? I have one of the smaller 9 bar slab mold from Bramble Berry.

[@ArianeArsenault]

You can use the same technique but adapt to the dimensions of your mold. Measure the inside width and lenght of your molds and fold at those measurements making sure you have enough freezer paper to go over the sides :-)

[@PrettyAliceNight]

Great thanks!

[@halimaseidu935]

Lovely work ma thanks for sharing

[@dowarnette]

do you prefer the freezer paper over a silicone liner? Or does it just depend on the type of soap being made? appreciate you sharing your tricks and tips

[@ArianeArsenault]

dowarnette I don't have a silicone liner for these types of molds. 😉

[@Frankinscience]

Ariane, ♥you♥ Thanks for the video. It was good!

[@loraelliott2142]

Thank you for another great video. I am still looking for the " Sweet Kisses" fragrance oil that you used in the whipped body butter video, can you share where you buy it from?

[@ArianeArsenault]

[@yindeagbota1099]

merci pour la vidéo! ça m'a l'air plus simple que les techniques que je vois d'habitude. est ce que tu peu réutiliser le même papier pour d'autres savons? oubien tu les jettes à chaque fois?

[@danideni648]

merci c'est à honneur pour moi de suivre et d'apprendre des techniques de fabrication a travers t'es vidéo je te souhaite beaucoup de réussite

[@BeastMaster228]

thank you for the video! do you grease the mold before lining the paper and do you use distilled water or pipe water?

[@ArianeArsenault]

BeastMaster228 I don't grease anything, what you saw is what I do! I always use distilled water

[@BeastMaster228]

thank you. One more question, can you use pipe water if you want or is it better or usually recommended to use distilled water. Thank You in advance!

[@loriann8298]

Did you also make your own boxes. We have dark paper here in ontario I've never seen the where freezer paper ..unless bulk stores carry it.

[@surmadevi6144]

Nice work

[@artoftam]

Hello Arianne, I was wondering why use wooden molds and parchment paper and not silicon molds ? Is it just practical ? I don't know if wooden mold + parchment paper is more ecological than silicon mold... what do you think ? Thanks a lot Tamara

[@ArianeArsenault]

Grand repas de fete silicone molds are great, but at this size they are difficult to find and are very pricy! I also find it a bit difficult to unmold slabs from rigid silicone liners. Now about the environmental issue, silicone are probably a better option

[@artoftam]

Okay thanks a lot for your answer ! As I'm an amateur, I will stick to my silicon mold then... But as I know I'll be having a lot of spare time in a few weeks, I was thinking about buying more molds or making them... I will think about it... I'm sure I'll be able to wait 24 hours between two batches... maybe :p !

[@donnahenthorn7109]

And a correction. She was using freezer paper, not parchment paper. Freezer paper has a coating on one side which should be the side the soap comes in contact with. Parchment paper does not, it will not easily come off the soap.

[@joanbelmont5450]

Thank you!!!

Anita Gadzińska personal preference, but I have reused freezer paper
