Wanted to ask you, after making my first batch of soap, I find this form to be unweildy, do you know of an efficient way to make soap bars in the rounded rectangles like you buy at the store?

There are 100's of sites that you can purchase molds for soap. Or you can take a vegetable peeler, and round the edges. Or you can make your own mold. Hope this helps. 🫂🙏

If your talking about round bars like this, we use PVC tubes with a plastic or parchment liner, learn from our mistakes, it won't come out of the tube without a liner. A little silicone spray once in a while also helps

You can also use a Pringles can for that shape as well. 🫡

Don’t eat the cursed Pringle…

Fuck, I ate it.

What size PVC and how to you insert parchment

In the picture, those are 3 inch round by 1" think bars. The bottom of the tube had one of these: https://www.amazon.com/EVERCONNECT-1730-Flexible-Stainless-Clamps/dp/B00HNWADI2

Tape doesn't stick to parchment, it only needs to hold when pouring, once poured the weight of soap mixture will hold it in place. In the attached pi, red is the tube, green in the parchment and arrow it where to tape it. . We found plastic tube bags from a commercial supplier to be significantly easier and faster.

Ive looked for a mold to buy to shape it like the ones proctor and gamble make with the smooth edges and such and can't find anything. Like Soap Miner here says you can shave it but what a waste. Id suggest getting a silicone mold making kit and fashion it from a commercial bar of soap but you would have to make several of these probably..

Excellent idea 💡💪

I might have a guy 3d print to just round the corners, but that doesn't help me with the dimensions fr. The main thing I want is the rectangle, not square. I guess I can try to fill the mold less than full
