SoyKandles Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 I've been searching for something the size of a cookie sheet and similar to a wire cooling rack (only plastic) used for baking, to dry my soap on. What do I use? I've been using something that's way too small and need something larger.Thanks in advance for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbren Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 See if you can find some soda/water cases or bread trays. They are plastic, about 6 inches deep and can be stacked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueH Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 I use plastic canvas and place it on the stackable cooling racks that you use for baking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoyKandles Posted September 18, 2007 Author Share Posted September 18, 2007 Where would I find plastic bread trays?Is the plastic canvas the craft stuff that you can stitch through?Thanks for your ideas, I'll keep my eyes open for these.

jbren Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 The bread trays are a bit more difficult to snag...it's what the sliced bread and rolls are delivered in to supermarkets.I am currently using plastic cases from Dasani water...but I think they are being replaced with cryovac wrap. Here is what they look like: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaColo Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 I use storage cubes to cure my soap. The cubes look like this:They are made out of metal, but are enamel-covered. I got mine at Target. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SueH Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Yep, the plastic canvas is the stuff you stitch. Works great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLSoaps Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 I use storage cubes to cure my soap. The cubes look like this:They are made out of metal, but are enamel-covered. I got mine at Target.I use these shelves as well. I've got several sets of them. I then take extra sections, and make extra 'shelves'. I attach them with zip ties. It works really well, and they're actually quite sturdy with them. I then use the cardboard trays that sodas come on. I've got 6 'cubes' set up with 3 tray slots each. Each shelf can hold about 6 lbs of soap. So I can easily cure 100+ of soap. And when I get really busy, I still have more of these shelves, and I start snagging those instead of using them to store the many other things I use in this business!

SoyKandles Posted September 19, 2007 Author Share Posted September 19, 2007 I was thinking it would be easy to create extra shelves in those cubes. Great idea attaching with zip ties. jbren -- I didn't know what the green was in the soap, but now I see the olives!! Cute!! and very creative!
