GrandmaB Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Reynolds Wrap plastic wrap is made out of PVC. Will this work for wrapping MP Soaps in?Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairieannie Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 I honestly have no idea. You may just try it and see what happens over time. I know that's a risky answer, but I've never tried the stuff and know nothing about it. If it were me, I'd take the chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ring of Fire Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Not that great of a response for your first post grandmaB. I always thought if you didn't know the answer to the question, why bother post a response to it. Reynolds wrap is different than any other kind of saran wrap how? I say use it.

GrandmaB Posted October 14, 2007 Author Share Posted October 14, 2007 Thanks for the ideas. I may give it a try. It is really hard to find what type of plastic the wraps are made of. I may get a roll of Sams Club plastic wrap at Walmart - several people have said it is made of polypro. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ring of Fire Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Yes Dixie, I was referring to PA's response as being worthless to her very first question. Sorry to confuse anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrandmaArial Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 PVC wraps are less permeable than low density polyethylene (LDPE), and will keep keep anything wrapped in it more air tight but have been found to release plactisizers (DEHA, DBP, and DEHP) into foods, in particular fatty foods, and the enviroment. As most organic based soap has a high fat content from super fatting I would say the odds are soap will probabaly be at high risk.LDPE, is less dence so not as air tight, nor does it strech or cling as well as placticised PVC, but it is considered safer and more enviromentaly safe. Glad Cling Wrap, Handi-Wrap, and Saran Premium Wrap are LDPE-based. I am not familiar with Sam’s Club plastic wrap, but as LDPE is cheaper to manufacture it is probabaly LDPE.

SliverOfWax Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 lol.Here's another real answer, less scientific.I've used Sam's Food Service Film 905C for ages and ages on my M&P. It stretches to fit, clings to hold, scent stays in (I have some that's probably 3 years old), doesn't get gummy, and is still just as good as the day I made it. I wouldn't bother to answer if I didn't know. But that's just me.www.StuffSunshineLikes.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterBaker2 Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Just curious but why would you have stuff that's three years old still on your shelf? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SliverOfWax Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 It's not on my shelf. It's in a box, packed and forgotten. I occasionally get some out to use when I run out of "real" soap, which I get from people like eugenia. I don't sell soap. Not on purpose, anyway. I sometimes give it away, sometimes throw it in a gift basket if the buyer wants soap, but for all intents and purposes, it was something I once thought I wanted to do but decided not to.To be more specific, I made a bunch, and now it's curing. Other than recently dabbling around with making some using EO which I'm using in gift baskets, soap isn't my thing. I should add that the Sam's wrap is made by Reynolds. www.StuffSunshineLikes.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SliverOfWax Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 What is it about "I recently dabbled around making soap with EO" that's so hard for you to understand? Perhaps if you read what's on my site, you would see that. But then again, comprehension seems to be a lost art. P.S. My "shelf" and my site are two separate things. www.StuffSunshineLikes.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterBaker2 Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Being that's not what it says on your website would start the confusion and the fact that you said the soap was three years old is certainly not "recently". Sue me, I get confused easily. I guess you got "lost" too............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SliverOfWax Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 You're right, of course. I guess the concept of dabbling with something new and putting it on your website (read description: "made with EO") and letting folks know it's available is foreign to you. I don't take it to stores, I don't actively promote it, I don't have it on my shelf, and I didn't realize I had to write a book on my site to let people know the entire history of my soapmaking, lol. So sorry to confuse you. That said, I answered the question. Did you?www.StuffSunshineLikes.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tlc26 Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Oh no! I am going to respond with nothing more to say than you are all a bunch of catty ladies!oh and chill out!Oh and I idn't answer until after I already posted!oh crap and I have a ton of typos!Don't pay attention to these crabby broads! Just live and let live! I personally prefer to use shrink bags for my MP soaps. I get 4x6 shrink bags from WSP and use my heat gun to shrink it! I prefer this because I get NO sweating and many of my clear soaps are meant to stay clear and pretty so that you can see the embeds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
