cryptic Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 I'm new at this and I'm currently in the researching and reading stage before I make soap. My question is, what do individual soap molds look like? I've seen the shoe box/wooden molds, but I don't want my soap to look like that squared/rectangular shape from those molds. I want the bar to look like oval or rounded on the corners, like store-bought bars, or at least smaller rectangular bars. Is this possible?If so, can someone post a picture or a link to what that type of mold looks like and where I can get them? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cryptic Posted August 9, 2006 Author Share Posted August 9, 2006 Great! Thank you! When pouring the CP soap, what is the best way to make several individual bars using those molds? Do you put many molds in a big container and just pour the soap, or do you meticulously pour soap carefully in each mold?Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speciallymadeby Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Would you use these the same as a wood log mold? Put plastic wrap on it and insulate over night? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindym Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 The half rounds I gel in the oven 170 degrees it takes about 15 to 20 minutes, turn the oven off and take them out to cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koala-nut Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I bought one of these tube molds awhile back. You could probably make your own very easily.http://www.mcgregormountainsoapworks.com/tube_molds.htmlTammy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hibiscus Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I bought one of these tube molds awhile back. You could probably make your own very easily.I saw this mold and was wondering how difficult is it to get the soap out and how do you seal the bottom? It looks like a gutter spout to me.

Hibiscus Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I purchased a butterfly mold from MMS and I had problems getting the soap out. The soap was ruined but it worked very well for huge bath bombs!..still want to make soap with it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I can not even get it to work for bath bombs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
