ignitethesenses Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 I'm looking into buying a log mold but I don't know a quality mold when I see one lol These seem like a really good price and it says no liner/freezer paper needed (seems like less hassle..which is always good for me ). Anyone know if these are good molds? http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZmrdoright123QQhtZ-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcandleattic Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 They are decent molds. Sometimes the soap sticks in them so in mine that is kinda like that, what I do is take some mineral oil and lightly rub it on there before pouring the soap in there. Or if you have a big enough fridge put it in there before unmolding it. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystical_angel1219 Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 Here is a lovely mold from Ebay. Kim has one of these and absolutely loves it. You can use it as a log or a slab mold and it comes with a stainless steel cutter and the lines are already cut out for you so your soap comes out uniform. I bought a bunch of molds already and this one is calling me too.... LMAO!! Its only 29.50!Made of solid oak and each side holds 3 lbs of soap.They have other sizes as well.I will post the pic and this is the seller:http://stores.ebay.com/SOAP-MAKING-MOLDS-AND-CUTTER-MOLD_W0QQssPageNameZviQ3asibQ3astoreviewQQtZkm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ignitethesenses Posted August 27, 2005 Author Share Posted August 27, 2005 Oh, those are nice too! Maybe I can learn to not fumble with lining it I really think that may be where I purchase one. Now to decide WHICH one loloh, btw, where do I buy the freezer paper? Is it with the wax paper, foil, etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystical_angel1219 Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 Oh I know that mold is temptation! I had quite the time finding freezer paper myself. Not one grocery store here carries it. Who would think it? LOL! I found mine at Target in the housewares section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasBrat Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 I buy my freezer paper at Walmart near the foil and wax paper. It is a huge box, you can't miss it and they are sold out of it a lot of the time. I think the cost is $4.99 or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindym Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 JMHO but I bought one of those molds and hated it, I would go with the one Kim bought or the Southern Bell Molds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meridith Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 I buy my freezer paper in bulk (150 sq. feet) at Sam's Club. I've had the same box of freezer paper for almost 8 months now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 CindyM~~What did you hate about it?ignitethesenses~~Does your mold have a lid? I found the easiest way to line my mold is to set the lid on a large piece of freezer paper, shiny side down. Then draw around the lid. I then slide the lid over and extend the lines for all for sides. Then cut out the corners. Turn the paper over to the shiny side up and fold the flaps in. Put the paper in your mold and it should fit perfectly. Tape the flaps to the outside. It takes about 2 minutes for me to line my mold this way.

ignitethesenses Posted August 28, 2005 Author Share Posted August 28, 2005 hmmm, the makers of the wooden molds on ebay (soapmoldmakers) don't seem to have that great of feedback...I wouldn't feel comfortable ordering from them. Where can I look at Southern Bell Molds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where can I look at Southern Bell Molds?I was a little leary of that too. There are 2 different sellers selling that type of mold. I got mine within 2 weeks. I am a wooden mold gal. I have a southern belle mold too. But I have to say I really love the mold that Mystical put the pic up of. I have never had my bars so uniform in size!!!!!If you have messing with freezer paper like I do....make a liner out of mylar. For my small molds I just use Transparencies and bend them to fit the mold. Then after you unmold the soap just wash it off and you are ready for another batch!
