Yep found it a nightmare with some bad words used.  But some people swear by it 
Mandy and use laminate cut-offs from print shops to line it.

Soap
 
On Wednesday I had to do a sample facial bar for a
client.  One that was tan in colour with scrubbies contained.
 
My creative side got going and although I have been making
soap for a long time I've never done a round soap.  So - I found some pipe
and got to work.  It was so exciting.  I used raw tussah silk, upped
the coconut milk, fine ground walnut shell, Australian blue washed clay and
fine ground lavender buds..  I know it sounds like a lot, but it was a
little of everything.  Be interesting to try it.
 
I unmoulded when I got home from work yesterday.  I had
managed to put a kink in the pipe when I was wrapping it to ensure gel - so
wasn't sure if the soap was going to come out!!  Anyway, got my
16 year old son on one end, with the oyster sauce bottle pushing the soap, and
me on the other trying not to kill myself laughing.  Success - without
ruining the soap.
 
I was so excited.  The round log looks great, right
colour and texture.  
 
I'm off to get some more pipe today - different widths.
 
So wondering have any of you used down pipe for making
soap?  What was your experience?
 
Liz
