Although I've only been a "soapie" for less than 6 months, I have used PVC
drainpipe and it worked OK for me.
I did use vaseline to coat the inside though... and I did make sure I used
heavy duty plastic and plenty of tape to ensure the bottom was sealed
properly enough not to allow the soap to escape!!!!

Hey Mandy, Although I didn't have to resort to it - I have read that if the
soap is difficult to get out of the pipe, then just to pop it in the freezer
for a couple of hours. Haven't tried it though.

Kia ora
I was going to use downpipe as my first mould but I got put off it by my
mentor who told me it was really hard to get the soap out of so I havent
been brave enough to have a go yet.

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?
