I bought the slab mold from Soap Making Resource: <a href="http://www.soap-making-resource.com/slab-soap-molds.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.soap-making-resource.com/slab-soap-molds.html</a>. It's one of their acrylic no-line molds. I have the 3-pound mold, and they also offer a 5-pound mold, too. I really like the mold, and it's great not having to line it!

I used to make an Orange Patchouli M&P bar using it, and it always turned a light orange. (My Lavender Patchouli bars didn't discolor, though.) My CP Orange Patchouli bars turned a light orange, too, and I think it's from the Orange 10x. I can't wait to try these bars, especially with all of that mango butter!LatherBeSoapinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18018716091511424218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3373649330246824979.post-24504545757301150562013-07-03T07:20:33.961-05:002013-07-03T07:20:33.961-05:00Thanks, Laura!

The bars still need to cure a few weeks, but the test wash indicates that it will be a very nice soap! The batter behaved perfectly - it stayed smooth and pourable throughout.
