Brooke Posted June 29, 2006 Posted June 29, 2006 New to this soap thread,Looking at the prices of real molds.I couldn't help to wonder if the Glad, Rubbermaid, ect...... throw away storage containers could workas a soap mold?Heat proof, FDA approved, lids, What do you think? Remeber I know nothing................... LOL about soaps Quote
jwahlton Posted June 29, 2006 Posted June 29, 2006 Yes they will. You can also use boxes lined with freezer paper. Quote
Brooke Posted June 29, 2006 Author Posted June 29, 2006 Yes they will. You can also use boxes lined with freezer paper.So would you have to line the glad plastic containers? Quote
jwahlton Posted June 29, 2006 Posted June 29, 2006 No you wouldn't have to line those containers. Just wood/cardboard. Quote
CareBear Posted June 29, 2006 Posted June 29, 2006 Some recommend Pam or the like. But I haven't tried it yet! Quote
cmille3 Posted June 29, 2006 Posted June 29, 2006 My favorite inexpensive molds are the 3X2X15 Rubbermaid drawer liners. I think they were $2 at CVS. My second favorite is the silicone muffin mold. $4 at Christmas Tree Shoppe or $8 at WalMart. And yes, Red bleeds but Blue doesn't.Pudding cups (or the individual ice cream cups) work nicely, too.

CareBear Posted June 29, 2006 Posted June 29, 2006 Red bleeds? Drat, I just put my first ever batch of HP into silicone mini-loar pans - RED. Fingers crossed... Quote
chopsgirl Posted June 29, 2006 Posted June 29, 2006 that's a great idea about the pudding cups.i had never thought of it Quote
cmille3 Posted June 29, 2006 Posted June 29, 2006 Red bleeds?Yuppah. But I *might* know a very unscrupulous soaper who discovered the red rinses right off...and my husband never knew the difference.The pudding cups were discovered when DD was in her "I want pudding" phase. I felt really guilty throwing them out and then I realized they were a perfect, little 4 oz cup... Quote
CareBear Posted June 29, 2006 Posted June 29, 2006 Yuppah. The red did bleed a little. I think I'll save that pan for batches I color then. Or I suppose I could bake. Nah.Good idea with the pudding cups! Quote
OFCILynn Posted June 29, 2006 Posted June 29, 2006 Can you get the red out using WD40?? Its great for taking ink out and I have cleaned many stained molds thus far using it! Quote
