ILVCANDLES Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Hi! I usually have a little extra of my CP soap after pouring into my log mold...Instead of throwing the extra away, I was wondering if anyone ever used plastic candy molds? :smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFCbrooke Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 I've not used the plastic candy molds, but hobby lobby has rubbery (maybe silicone?) ice cube trays for like $2.50. I bought the hearts of that and used it to make some different soap things. Worked just fine! HL has hearts, stars, ducks, teddy bears, and orange/lemon slices. Oh, and I didn't even have to spray them with anything...the soaps (and I also did lotion bars well, lotion hearts) came right out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILVCANDLES Posted December 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Thanks for the info! I was curious were you using M&P or CP soap when pouring into the rubber molds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFCbrooke Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 I made lotion bars and the sugar cubes, so it had M&P. I've not made straight soap in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitn Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 I have used them for extra cp soap . I brush the candy mold with mineral oil first . They won't likely gel and usually need to be popped in the freezer for an hour or so then I pop them out of the candy mold . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inherowndominion Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 I've actually used M&P molds for my left over soap before, I even insulated with plastic wrap. They DO warp after a bit though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
