Using PVC to mold goat milk soap

[lreynolds]

I am a newbie! I want to make a facial bar of goat milk soap in PVC pipe. What is your experience with milk soap in PVC? Do you put it in the freezer? etc???

I line mine with freezer paper to be able to get it out easily....

I pour the batter directly into the PVC pipe. When I begun with PVC pipes I did the extra work of lining it. It is not worth it in my opinion.

For easy unmolding, put the whole pipe into the freezer a few hours so it gets frozen. When you take it from the freezer, let hot water a very short time flow over the pipe and then press out the soap.

I don't have a big enough freezer But I just dropped a rolled piece of freezer paper in and voila it's lined... LOL

Try greasing the mold with lanolin, mineral oil or petroleum jelly. Basically with oils that don't saponify. The best for me was greasing the mold with a decent amount of petroleum jelly before pouring. then there is a dilemma of to use or not to use mineral oil or petroleum jelly at all. eventually i gave up the whole thing and went with silicone moulds.
