Uplands?

[Deda]

I bought 2 new molds from Uplands last week, I haven't got them - yet. I know I'm going to love them.

Anyone have them? Any tips? Problems? Advice? Ideas on how long they take to get?

I'm so excited I can't wait! I wanted to get 8, but DH reeled me back to Earth and I compromised with 2. If I love 'em I'll get more later, as long as they stay in business. I was all set to splurge on Silvermoon and then Whamo! Poof! Gone, gone, gone...

Oh Deda...how exciting! After my TOG liner ordeal, I'm debating between finding someone to make customized silicone liners to fit my TOG mold, or SoapHutch HDPE molds or Uplands.

Care to share what made you decide to go with them? Have you tried SoapHutch?

And do you do CPOP? I want to be able to do that with my next mold. Rich at SoapHutch says I can with his. My oven will go down to 170*.

Zeo, I'm still tearing my hair out over the TOG liners. I made my own liners from EVA foam after the 'replacements' tore 5 minutes into using them. I have other silicone and I love the way they look. Sibi uses a silicone loaf pan and her sides are so nice and smooth.

I got the 3.5 x 2.5 x 18 logs. Same cut size as the togs. Maybe they won't have yellow corners?

I have 3 uplands and love them! Mine are both older. One is the light blue liner and the other is the heavier red liner. The other is the round mold. They do have small test molds now (or they did last time I was on their site)

all i found was a one bar mini mold.

Oh yeah, I forgot about Woodfields. So my choices are:

1) Custom made silicone liners to fit existing TOG mold.
2) Uplands
3) SoapHutch
4) Woodfields

Hmm. How will I ever decide? :shock:

I guess it's better to have too many options than not enough!

It seems that a lot of soapers had trouble with the foam liners in TOG moulds? I'm glad I found that out before I bought some.
