I'm getting ready to test some M&P, but I'm trying to dot all my 'i's' and cross my 't's' first. I've done a search on using plastic containers for melting M&P bases and I haven't seen anything beyond don't.
My question is why when they use plastic molds? I have plastic measuring cups that I use for my cp/hp soaping that are category 5 which is safe for hot liquids and chemicals, I won't be letting my base get too hot and it's not caustic, so why is the common consensus don't use it if that's what you have available.
I'm fine if there's a scientific/health related reason for it, I just don't want to go get a bunch of glassware to test out something I may not end up using again based on misinformation that gets continuously passed along in the blogosphere.
