TallTayl Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Can you gets your hands on a mandoline slicer (I found one for about $15 at bed bath & beyond. It's designed for vegetables, but have used it on CP. The soap has to be pretty fresh and not too firm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Heavy duty cheese slicer or vegetable peeler? String a wire between two screws? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapbuddy Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 You can rent a wooden planer at places like Home Dept or Lowe's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asheebeans Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 If you want some reeeeaaallly long soap curls, what I used to do was pour a thin layer of MP in a silicone brownie pan. I would let it set up and when it was still warm but firm, remove from the brownie pan onto freezer paper and cut into strips. Then I would roll the strips manually into nice long soap curls! There's probably an easier way but nothing I ever do is easy! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth a shot for really long curls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWV Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 That's what I did last year when I made some m&p soap with red curls in it--called it peppermint twist.If you want some reeeeaaallly long soap curls, what I used to do was pour a thin layer of MP in a silicone brownie pan.
