Guest guest Posted April 15, 2002 Report Share Posted April 15, 2002 Donna you said that you line your PVC molds with bags and I'm just wondering if you order a special bag that just fits without all the wrinkles or if you just use ....like, produce plastic bags?

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2002 Report Share Posted April 15, 2002 Thanks, Donna for the explanation. We don't get our newspapers in bags around here and the french bread is always in paper bags. But I bet if I started looking I'd find something, somewhere. I'd rather figure out a way to lightly oil the inside, maybe spray Pam or something and then just push real hard..! ;-) But your tip about the bread crumbs can is great. Don't the Pringles lids fit??? With my kids I could stock up on them in a hurry. Thanks. Appreciated your response. Joi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2002 Report Share Posted April 16, 2002 Joi, Hope I can help. You can not spray your pvc pipes with pam or the like. Your soap will not likely come out. I know! I had to cut down both side of my pipe to get the soap out and I put it in the freezer as well with no luck. The three inch pipe is big enough to probably get your hand in half way and use shortening to grease with. Then do the other end. This is how I do it. And be generous with the shortening. I do not think I would use oil. Or if you can not get your hand in there grease a plastic bag or plastic wrap and run it back and forth in the tube. I have not used the cap on the bottom as I read it can form a vacum and make it difficult to get off. I wrap a plastic bag on the bottom and tape on or use a heavy rubberband. I have heard of people using the pringles can to pour soap into then just peel the can off. SD -- Re: Bags for PVC molds? Thanks, Donna for the explanation.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2002 Report Share Posted April 16, 2002 I checked out the price on these plastic liners. After paying shipping each bag will cost $1.04 to use. This seems pricey to me as this cost has to be added onto the price of each bar. Shortening costs almost nothing to use. I pay $1.78 for a 3 pound can of vegetable shortening. Just my thoughts.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2002 Report Share Posted April 16, 2002 I have found that if you cut a piece of cardboard slightly smaller than the inside diameter of the pipe covered with plastic wrap or contact paper. I then put a 4 foot length of closet doweling against the cardboard and use this to push the soap out of the pipe. The doweling is long enough so i can balance it on the floor and use my body weight to pull the pipe down. I usually make milk soaps which are stickier than most other soaps. Just thought I would pass this along to anyone who is having issues getting a stubborn batch to release. HTH! Bast Lotus on the Nile Soapworks Ankh, Udja, Seneb! (Life, Prosperity, Health!)

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2002 Report Share Posted April 16, 2002 You are welcome. Sherry D -- Re: Bags for PVC molds? Thanks SD for sharing about the vacuum seal with lids on the PVC pipe and also being generous with shortnening when greasing the molds. I would've tried PAM or oil first. Thanks!

With my kids I could stock up on them in a hurry Why dont you just use the Pringles cans? I have used them with great success before. With the PVC, you would have to grease the insides with vaseline I think. Pam wouldnt be heavy enough. Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
