Yin Yang Soap

[dibbles]

I'm sure most of you have seen it. The yin yang soap made in a Pringles can or PVC pipe. I've tried it a couple of times with moderate success. So yesterday I decided to try it again. The soap in the Pringles can all leaked out, so that was exciting. But I have always wondered if this could be done in a cavity mold. Turns out it can. I just cut some strips off a dollar store cutting mat. I just thought I'd share since it is something different to do with those little bits of batter that are left over.

Nice!!

Fantastic idea and execution! Bravo!! I’m stealing that for sure!!

That's a fantastic idea! Lovely looking soap! I got some cutting mats to play with a while back, but I think they're too thick. I'll have to check the dollar store.

Dollar store here has 2 mylar sheets for a buck. About 18 x 12 inches? Cheap play toys!

I am going to try something like this as well! I love all the creativity here

Can I clarify for my understanding.

You poured white batter into one side of sheet-divided-mold, blue into the other, then carefully lifted the sheet-divider out? That is how it works in my mind

Thanks!

 

[dibbles]

@Clarice Yes, that is correct. There are several YouTube videos if you want to watch - here is one I think it is easier to watch than try to explain how to roll the mat into the S shape.

For the individual molds, I cut strips long enough to roll them the same way as in a pringles can/pvc pipe. Cut them wide enough so you that you have something to hold onto when you are pulling them out. I hope that makes sense. I think you can see my strips were probably 1/4" or so higher than the top of the mold.

Super helpful thank you @dibbles

 

[Clarice]

@dibbles

For your little molds did you pour both colors soap at same time? thanks

No. I held the divider down and poured one color at a time. I did finish pouring one bar before moving to the next so there wouldn’t be any leaking. My batter was at a light trace, not quite medium.

Thank you @dibbles!

I made so many mistakes today, batter was just part of it! LOL

Really creative. Good job Dibbles.
If using a cavity mold, I guess you will want to use a really fluid recipe.

 

[dibbles]

My batter was fluid, but not too thin. I'd say it was at light trace, heading toward medium.

Love them!

terrific idea!

 

[Primrose]

Very nice! With the addition of a drinking straw you might even be able to get the dot on each side too

 

[Rogue-Soaper]

Great idea!
