I thought about that Gina - didn't want the marks! LOL!
I think the potassium lactate I use helps it come out.

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?
