rebeccajo99 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 So, I want to try making some soap this afternoon while my boys are napping, but I did not get a chance to run to the craft store to get a mold this morning. Is there something that I can use that I may have laying around the house???Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeAnna_EC Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 one of those plastic shoe boxes works well if youre going to make a big batch.anything really that you can pop the soap out of, ive used tupperware, cardboard boxes with freezer paper or a garbage bag to line it.Ive even used medium size paper jewelry boxes lines with saran wrap, basically whatever you can find that wont leak and can be lined with something will work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I sometimes use a bread loaf pan sometimes. You get a 'loaf' of soap you can cut up any size you want. Or a muffin or cupcake pan will work too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebeccajo99 Posted September 3, 2009 Author Share Posted September 3, 2009 Thanks everybody for thier suggestions. I used a glad ware container this time. Don't like how it demolded and how it looks cut. (plus, the word glad was molded into the soap ) Will work for tester bars right now, but defently have to find something different for marketable bars. How long should i let them dry before starting to test them? I don't think I got the bees wax mixed in good We will see when I start testing them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 As soon as the bars are hard enough to demold you can start testing them. I always play with... er.. test my batches afterwards. Keep notes on your soapmaking til you have your recipe down pat. Have fun!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
