I’m a wife, mom, and a self proclaimed soap nerd with an entrepreneurial spirit-living in Lubbock Texas, (a place best known for our expansive horizon, cotton,and as the birth place of Buddy Holly.)I guess you might say I’ve got a serious addiction to all things soap related. Come hang out, as I share my adventures in a world where chemistry meets art.
“Homemade soap feels good: soft, rich, enveloping, soothing. The lather is dense and penetrating rather than thin and airy. It leaves an emollient film on your skin that makes it feel soft and sensuous. Homemade soap is comforting in ways which manufactured soap can never be: its look, its weight, its bulk, how it feels in your hands, looks in its dish. There is something ineffable about homemade soap. It’s not homogenized, pasteurized, deodorized, sanitized or synthesized - it’s one of a kind, every bar different, each unique. It is idiosyncratic in the way of all homemade and handmade things.”
Awww,so sorry Irene.I made some temporary "lids" for some pvc molds that I was doing some experimentation with and wellll-lets just say there has to be a better option out there.I didn't lose a whole lot and luckily I was prepared for some seepage-but I did lose some soap. Oh well.
I've never had the nerve to use pvc molds -you know me and my KFC containers! LOL I have had "no line" molds leak and I panicked...wasted soap everywhere...grrr!
Luckily I didn't have huge mess and sort of suspected that my temporary fix might not hold,but I knew there was a problem when I checked on them and they were both down about an inch or two from the level I poured them at. Sure,enough there was soap everywhere making for a slight mess. I'll have to think of a way to cap these smaller pvc pipes off. I have caps for the larger ones-but these smaller experimental ones have no cap---and obviously my rigged caps didn't hold soap. lol!

I had the same problem today! I thought it was seizing up on me and threw it in the mold...only to discover it was like water! Soap everywhere :(
Happy soaping!
