joym Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Can't say for sure, but appears to be HDPE - a kind of plastic mold often used for soapmaking -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanetsCandles Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Hubby and I looked at both photos. He is a plastics engineer. The photo here does look like HDPE, but the other photo looks more like Closed Cell foam. HDPE won't break like what the other one looks like it has done. But we'd have to actually handle (as in hold and be able to manipulate) those in order to be sure. Where did you get the photos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Handmade Posted March 24, 2013 Author Share Posted March 24, 2013 Thank you all for answering. Could you please tell me where I can find this kind of mold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmism Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 HPDE plastic is not really molded but more likely built from sheet and heat welded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 If it was made out of HDPE then it wouldn't be all broken, cracked, and dinged up like you can see in the other photo. HDPE is fairly tough. I could be completely off base, but I actually thought Handmade was asking about where he/she can find a mold to make this thing out of wax. I could most definitely be wrong.
