The size of the mold is very small so I made a slanted stand for it molded using cupcake liners. To achieve the slightly angled top, I placed chopsticks at the bottom of the liners when I poured opaque soap base containing activated charcoal too.
Then, when both the Darth Vader soap and stand are ready, I remelted left over gray colored soap base and used it to "glue/stick" the two soaps together. To ensure proper adhesion between the two surfaces, I made slight scratches in the soap surfaces using toothpick.
Here are the soap output:

You may be wondering on why I made Darth Vader soap for father's day?
Well you know the word Vader literally means father right? Another reason is that I like Darth Vader. Don't tell me you didn't liked him when he was that cute little Anakin Skywalker boy?
To me, he is a good son, a good husband and a good father.
He joined the dark side while thinking/knowing that what he is doing at that time was right, remember that - that was a time of chaos and adversity. I am not here to close my eyes againts all the bad things that he have done. In fact, everything that he have done can be traced down due to to his love for his mom, wife and kids. Let us not forget too that no matter on which route he took, the prophecy did came true and he brought balance again.
In our daily lives, if you happen to know a real life Darth Vader will you like him, hate him or forgive him? To me no matter what.. I believe that we all commit mistakes and so everyone deserves a second chance - no matter what!
Alright, enough.. enough.. here is the Darth Vader soapmaking video.. I hope you like it.
Happy Father's day to all the father's out there.
Happy Birthday to my cousin Ate Beng.
Advance Happy Birthday to Jo.
