Clever! What did you use to cut?

I used a kitchen knife to cut after about 24 hours. However, cuts are not precise as I want it to be. Thinking of a way to do it more properly.

That's a great idea @Lankan. Thanks for the pics.

you're welcome.

I saw a round silicone cake mold the other day and thought it would be great to make a 'slab' soap in it, and cut it as wedges, like you would a cake.

Like this? Hehehe

Yes!!! Yum! My mission these holidays is to make some (soap) lemon meringue pies.

I haven't used a milk carton, but I did use two Manteca lard containers last when when I was doing multiple small batches for presents and ran out of molds. The size and shape worked great, but peeling the stuck sides and bottom is irritating, and I have to trim some of it way, which isn't as easy to do as I'd like since I can't seem to trim evenly half the time.

I line my boxes with paper, milk cartons too. Wrap the box on the outside like you would a present, leaving the top open. Tape the sides. Slide it off and put inside the box, slit down the top piece at the corners and fold down.

(I always hit post and remember something else...)

Plastic drain pipes used for downspouts is something else I've used, has a neat texture. I got a chunk from a friend who was discarding it. Coat with oil first.

Thank you, that sounds much easier than the way I've been doing it lol
