ah-soy Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 CP soap virgin here, but I've finally ordered all the ingredients for Darwins Basic recipe, bought a stainless steel pot and tools, goggles, gloves the works...everything but a mold. Can anyone suggest a good mold to start out with and where to get it? I just want to start out with small batches to see if I can even get the hang of it?

soycrazy Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 I started out using boxes and small loaf shaped plastic containers. I'm always looking around the house for something I can pour soap in lol. Hubby just made me a wood log mold those are pretty simple to make if your handy Every time I go to a store I'm always looking for something for soap, dollar stores and those .99 stores are great for that, I found a nice container to use as a slab mold for .99 gotta love that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elitenaildesign Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 This is the first wooden soap mold I bought. good price and she has smaller sizes too.http://cgi.ebay.com/Wooden-Soap-Mold-Handmade-4-pound-Recipes_W0QQitemZ280120563479QQihZ018QQcategoryZ28116QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItemMy husband made me a 8x10 mold as well and it hold 4-5 lbs of soap.

Scented Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Look at Wal-Mart. Those plastic organizers work well if you're starting small. Heck they used to have stainless steal water bowls for pets. Just don't let your pet see it or you no longer have a potential soap mold lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CareBear Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I started out using shoe box lids. Worked my way up to a flimsy wooden tray I got at Michael's Craft... No need to drop a lot of $$ on mold - yet. Soon you will be a mold-ho like me, but no need to rush into it LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
