Tips for Caring for Our Flexible Tropicana Moulds



Tropical Flexible Mould - Starfish


Our New Flexible Tropicana Moulds are high quality LDPE moulds (PVC doesn't last long and is not as robust) as most of our customers make Cold Process or Hot process Soap and expect their moulds to last a long time. Our Commercial Grade Moulds will outlast their poorer cousins big time, and do not require the careful handling during unmoulding that the lesser quality moulds do. These moulds are also food safe and you can make stunning chocolates and other goodies with them!

Our Tropicana Moulds do not require "priming" or to be coated with oil before use. Your quality mould is made of a flexible LDPE plastic which helps un-mould your soap with ease. The mould material may slightly warp after multiple uses due to the heat.

Should this occur, you can correct this by putting the mould in the oven (lay the mould on a tray) at 90 Degrees Celsius for about 5 minutes. You may want to put a weight on each end on the cavity to ensure the mould flattens out. Let mould cool with weights on it before use. This heat method may not work for every design but will aid to some degree with the unevenness. Too much heat will cause mould to thin and cause further unevenness.

Do not use any type of oil as the oils can eventually eat away the material.

After each use, wash the mould with hot soapy water to remove any soap base and dry the mould and keep it stored in a cool area. We do not recommend washing in a dishwasher or using boiling water. If washing the mould after making Candles or Wax Melts, as you may need to use hotter temperature water, so do not leave submerged for extended periods.
