Weigh out 25g (~0.9 oz) of clear melt and pour soap base and cut it up into small cubes (this includes 5g for wastage).If you wish to pour multiple mosaic tile shapes of the same colour together, then double or triple the amount of soap base accordingly.
Working quickly, pour the liquid soap base into the desired section/s (hexagon, triangle or square) of the mosaic tile silicone mould.
Ensure the soap base covers the entire section of the mould by spreading it around with a rubber scraper and spraying alcohol to break the surface tension and remove any bubbles.
Set the soap aside to set for 20 minutes.
Once the soap is set, turn the mould over and push out the mosaic soap tiles onto the paper-lined tray while bending and flexing the mould.
Clean the mould if necessary and repeat the process to make all of the following tiles:- 3 sections of white triangle tiles- 1 section of gold triangle tiles- 2 sections of white hexagon tiles- 1 section of red hexagon tiles- 1 section of green hexagon tiles- 1 section of clear glitter hexagon tiles- 2 sections of red square tiles- 1 section of gold square tiles- 1 section of black square tiles
Use a breadboard and a sharp knife to cut up and trim the mosaic soap tiles if required.
Sort the soap tiles by shape and separate the 'part' tiles (i.e. the edge pieces of the triangle and hexagon tiles) from the 'whole' tiles.
Melt your soap base as per the instructions in a microwave or double boiler.
Scent your soap with fragrance oils or essential oils (optional).
Set the soap mould (sitting on a tray or breadboard) on top of a set of kitchen scales and press TARE.
Spray the surface of your mosaic soap designs with alcohol to help the soap layers adhere to each other.
Pour equal amounts (10g) of soap into each mould cavity (resetting the kitchen scales to ‘0’ for each cavity) to completely cover the surface of the mosaic.
Spray the soap with alcohol to remove any bubbles.
Allow the thin layer of soap to set.
Weigh out 370g (~13oz) of white melt and pour soap base and cut it up into small cubes. This includes 10g for wastage.
