Tray One Bee Soap Mold

These were cheap so I bought a few. I've been a cold and hot process soaper since 2015 and have never had an issue with a mold like this one. It's barely flexible enough to try to get the soaps out... when I really tried, it cracked. I waited a couple weeks for the soaps to harden more, tried freezing them... nothing worked. Tried cutting a grid at the lines between the 9 soaps... didn't help. I finally had to CUT the mold up with scissors (and cut myself a couple times because this plastic mold is sharp) and attempt to get each individual one out. This picture isn't accurate: you can't see the bee form at all... it was just a mess. I've only cut the first tray and am disgusted as I can't sell these soaps and now have to rebatch. Garbage.
