Can I use a metal cake pan for a mold with freezer paper? The corners would need finishing off and I figured roll the leftovers into balls for embeds. The thing is it can withstand heat, the oven to gel, etc...but does the lye react with the coating to create "problems" ie chemicals in the soap, fumes etc? I would think it wouldn't work, but maybe it would? I want a small flatter mold for doing peacock swirls and fancy designs. I want no more than a 6 bar mold for this if I have to purchase it. All the small ones are loaf, or bb carries a 4" wide x 3 3/4" (appx) long mold 2" tall, and a 6"x6"x1 7/8", but it makes for the wrong size bars I'd think for this project. I don't want 10 plus bars, and bb 9 bar birchwood is beyond my pocketbook. So cake pan I have here already for free, or purchase a smaller mold with which I have no clue which to get for this specific project? Any suggestions welcomed!
