blacktieaffair Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Whether for CP, HP, MP or whatever.I've either heard of or used, PVC, Pringles Cans, Ice Cube Trays, different Tuperware type containers, etc etc... So what "odd" things have yall used before and how did it work, and what application did you use it in ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanetsCandles Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Oh gods, I have tons of stuff. Chopped up an old cutting board to use as a mold. Add a few screws and voila. PVC. I am getting into vacuumforming some of our own stuff for molds, ice cube trays, silicone muffin trays, little cupcake pans (currently have a tiny penguin I'm dying to try), cookie cutters...Add in the molds I use for candles and oh my... drain pipes, and all sorts of other weird things there too.

Chefmom Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Cat Food cans. Before my beloved kitty Snickers died he could only eat soft cat food and canned salmon. I was washing out the cans to put them in the recycling when that "light" went over my head. They did make a cute round soap, but you have to spray them really well with olive oil for the soap to come out. Oh, hot process soap.

blacktieaffair Posted June 12, 2012 Author Share Posted June 12, 2012 I have a small round tupperwear type container that I make smiley face soaps in. I can't use the pringles can because for my fat hands, it's too small and tall for me to position everything right, so I make these in that container, its about 3 inches tall. I get two good size soaps out of it, but they always come out good instead of trying to do really long logs and screwing up the placement of the eyes or mouth lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitn Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 single serve oval round yoghurt containers, great for salt bars, little drawers from staples, down spout, pvc plumbing pipe and more.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacktieaffair Posted June 12, 2012 Author Share Posted June 12, 2012 down spout ???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanetsCandles Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I could see how a down spout would work *nod*. You'd just have to use the straight portions instead of the curved ends. It would end up with some pretty neat scalloped type edges too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faerywren Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 (edited) Down spout makes lovely soaps. I've got myriad little plastic containers I've picked up at dollar general or dollar tree. I love the fancy cups that Dole fruit parfaits come in. Different organizer bins for drawers. My favorite "odd" container is a plastic baby wipes box that is a large rectangle with no divets or anything. Just smooth on all sides. Makes nice huge bars.

blacktieaffair Posted June 12, 2012 Author Share Posted June 12, 2012 Are yall using the down spouts for MP? Im curious how that would work... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I have a crayon mold I don't remember where I got it and I sometimes I use my bread pan. Bread pan is for M&P and the crayon mold can be used for CP and M&P but have only used it for M&P so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faerywren Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Are yall using the down spouts for MP? Im curious how that would work...I do CP in down spout. I line it with a small thin trash bag first. Tighten the liner, keep it in place with rubber bands and pour in. After your soap sets and shrinks away from the sides a bit. Yank the whole lot out.

kyme1911 Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 wood trophy boxes that I have re-taped together with Gorilla tape to form my vertical shaped soap molds. They are ugly, but they work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
