8-GRAN-ONES Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I know probably you all are alot smarter than me..And have already thought of this..But In case there are any like me..I want to pass on a tip.I line my Ikea molds with that funky foam..I cut the ends a bit longer so I can get the soap out of the molds easier..but it is still hard sometimes to pull it out..My tip..Take a plastic grocery bag, cut it so it is the length of the inside of the mold, make it long over the sides so you have plenty of plastic to get ahold of to pull out..and lay it smoothly in the mold before putting in the funky foam..So So easy,,,Just get ahold of that plastic,,and out comes the soap..funky foam an all..I don't know why I didn't think of it along time ago..

coco Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 I coated all of mine with kitchen silicone from Home Depot. Voila! Never have to line them again and they slide right out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeana Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 What are the measurements for the drawers, does anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8-GRAN-ONES Posted October 22, 2008 Author Share Posted October 22, 2008 They are 3.5" wide...9" long..2.5" h you can get it higher if your oils are at thicker trace..That is inside measurments with the funky foam..Also...see the cut out at the end? I just make my foam come up over that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystical_angel1219 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Yes~ I have one, you sent it to me. Good tip. I lined mine with silicone baking sheets from Lillian Vernon on eBay. I think I paid 9.00 for 6 loaf sized sheets, they needed very little cutting. Seller- shrevescloseouts, I believe. I wish I had time to say I used them. Sniff.

Kaylors Kreations Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 ok.. now I have to ask... when y'all say you lined your mold with the silicon baking sheets or funky foam, what do these liners look like? I just can't figure it.. i wanna say i see something like a rectangle with long ends n sides, kinda like if you took a shoe box and cut along the standing corners n flattened it out.. am I right? is this what y'all r doing? I don't mind lining with freezer paper, but would be willing to try something new if it saves me a lil time.TIA gals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
