Nice stick.

it appears that the MWF had adhered to the sides of the stick.
I think all of the suggestions for smoother sailing are good ones. It is a bit like baking. I think a thin coat of vaseline would work well, frankly I would stay away from food oils, I don't know why, I don't know if they'd spoil or not. But this is all besides the point, I think taking the stick with cap on, and running it under hot water for a while, would loosen it up. We'll figure it out.
Thanks Darjeeling, but I only kinda sorta did it...
I used a marker to tamp it down when I was putting the flakes in. Not a big deal, tamp and spin, tamp and spin, the marker fit right into the space between the screw and the walls.
HOWEVER. When I tried to actually use the twister, it appears that the MWF had adhered to the sides of the stick. Perhaps I tamped too well? Anyway...it broke. I had to cut the bottom out and push with my thumbs...PUSH HARD. That fat really stuck to the walls...I had to put a bottle into the hole and bear down with my whole upper body. SOOOO...not a total success.
But the soap was great, works fantastically as a stick, and in the future I will think about how to prevent the adhesion problem...

That's pretty cool Darjeeling. You always have great pictures. Let us know how it goes on the face when you get ready to try it out.

PROBLEM SOLVED. I too experienced this binding effect. So I took a hairdryer to the stick. Cap on. I heated it up evenly, about 20 seconds, then a fifth of turn, till, the hot dog was warmed up. With a normal push, the stick glided right up.
What did you use for the container? I don't think that I heard it mentioned in a post anywhere?
Thanks,
Rav.
Well done sir!!!.......
