No-Line Molds

no liners

I also use mylar liners as Irish does. I use them in a lot of different sizes of wooden molds that I have made because I like to make different size bars of soap. I have each liner coded to the specific wooden mold. I have slab and log molds. I have used these mylar lines over and over BUT I do spray the inside of the mylar liner lightly with spray canola oil that I get at Costco...It works perfect. After demolding I wipe the inside of the mylar liner with some toilet paper removing any access oil and do this as well to the soap....thats all there is to it....

Yes, I think she said she used a light coating of petroleum jelly to keep them secure. I cant wait to try it.

I am gonna have to do this in 3 posts cause I dont know how to add multiple pics at once, but heres the mold closed,

my pic didnt post? Dont you just put it into the download imageshack bar?

Can someone please tell me how to do it? I will post the mold closed, open, and with the mylar just before pour. Right now my soap is sitting in the mold and once it comes out tuesday or so, I will take pics of that too if I remember.

I did use petroleum jelly, smeared it on the mylar and it just stuck to the mold. Was very easy to do and so far it beats the heck out of making a liner each time. Even the one time I made this mold was easier than dealing with the parchment paper.

Lifeworks Mold

Well, Pamela, I think you've talked me into it. I have a couple of super smooth Soaphutch molds, and I love them. I also have two 18-inch Mr. Doright no line molds, and I line them with freezer paper, which comes in rolls that are 18 inches wide. I knew, at first glance, that they were not the same kind of animal as my Soaphutch. I have been pondering the Lifeworks mold for some time, and I actually like that it is so big!
