~My Homemade Wooden Mould~

[Guest]

I gave my grandad a bunch of instructions and he also watched Keith Brown's 'How to make a mould' vid on youtube. One week later and I've made the most awesomest HP soap in my most awesomest mould

Both ends detach and there's an adjuster in the middle. I tend to leave one end off as it's easier to line that way.

Can he be my grandad too? :wink:

I saw that tutorial and want to make my own mold too. You are so lucky to have someone to make it for you! Great job!

Very nice!!

My hubby just made me a bunch exactly the same, but only one end comes off. I have 5 of them, YAY!!

I made molds using instructions from that tutorial too! I love my molds! I actually made resuable liners for them too with quilters mylar sheets. Takes me seconds to line a mold now....swoon!

Deborah,

I lined my molds with quilters plastic mylar sheets, they are heat resistant so they will withstand the heat of cp/hp soaping. I bought the sheets at JoAnns, but somebody from another forum posted this link to rolls of the mylar:

SFB, great moulds, I was lying in bed wondering what do you line them with? Can you help, so I can sleep at night!

With the ends coming off, (just having one end would have worked too) it's so easy to line with waxed paper. After having learned the hard way, I now know to use it shiney side up otherwise it sticks.

I think starting a mould making business would do him the world of good and actually gie him something to do. I'll suggest this to him when he's in a good mood. LOL.

Where do you get your waxed paper I have been looking and looking, Inverness doesn't have any!
