Nancy Today: How to line and use a wooden soap mold, Erin's gift

[kahfess]

I think you did a great job with that last minute mold.

[NancyToday]

Why thank you! *curtsey*

just the plastic sheet goes thru the laminator....with some mineral oil when lined

[spankses]

i like to use laminating plastic. i have a hot laminator, run the sheets through and use the plastic to line the moulds with ....works a treat.

[NancyToday]

So you put pieces of paper in the laminator, or just the plastic sheets?  Interesting idea.

I think Erin's mold is great -- can't wait to see the finished product! And I think the mold you made yourself is pretty spiffy, too!

Thanks Dena! I have the wood to make five new ones, now! Yippee!

That's what happened to me last night - I tried to rebatch a sugar cookie scented soap I made awhile back. It turned dark brown so my plan was to rebatch it and add chocolate fragrance, but it didn't stick! Now it smells horrible. I think I'm going to throw it out!

[NancyToday]

just cook it on low in the crock pot for a long time and the scent will flash away. Or add manly scents to go with the bad fragrance and it may be good. I did that with some burned lard. turned out to be a quick seller!

That is a really good idea for a liner! Using freezer paper is a big pain in the butt.

[graceinguelph]

hi Nancy, have you ever used freezer paper to line your molds? Works great for me. put the shiny side up so its against the soap

[NancyToday]

not yet. I used waxed paper in the mold last night.  It seemed to work well with hp soap.

So grace, you're just down the road from me! I mean, hwy 7! Okay, a long way down the road! Smile.
