Can I use this as a slab mold?

[KiwiMoose]

Just had my apricot kernel oil delivered and look at this lovely sturdy box it came in! I've cut it down but left the sides quite high to increase rigidity. It's about 15cm x 22cm. If I reinforce the corners and line it, do ya reckon I could use it? Please say yes It's the last day of my holidays so i need to do something!

I would give it a go. I used a box when I first started. It worked

 

[jcandleattic]

Make sure you line it and you'll be good to go!

I also used a similar sized random cardboard box for my first batch and it worked.

 

[SaltedFig]

Yes

Ooooooh. Now you have me intrigued!

 

[KiwiMoose]

OK, I've done it, it's in its wee blankey-bed for the night and hopefully we unfold tomorrow for a look-see.

Had to look that one up.

With worms on your tongue??

Funny...yet sooo gross.

I can't wait to see how it turns out! One of my first slab molds was a Ritz cracker box with the front panel cut out and reinforced with packing tape.

With worms on your tongue??

LOL! And I'm a qualified English language teacher and didn't even notice.

Here ya go - the suspense is over:
I give you slab mould soap (orange and patchouli EOs)

 

[SaltedFig]

That's some pretty impressive box soap you have there KiwiMoose!

Beautiful!

Thanks Fig - I bought a silicone cake mat thingy to put in the bottom - have been wanting to try it for ever, but the silicone mat only arrived yesterday, so it was perfect timing.
