This is not a difficult procedure. Basically you read the
instructions which come with your silicone then, mix the
silicone, pour it onto the textured surface and trim the piece of
silicon to fit inside your mould box. Firstly you need to purchase the
silicone which usually comes in a tin along with a small bottle of catalyst.
Simply follow the mixing instruction which come with the silicone.
Silicone soap moulds are great for custom shapes and
applications,and easy to make in an afternoon. You can create very precise
looking soap shapes from all sorts of shapes and sizes of containers,
or carve your own soap shape.
This is a 3 part series of video tutorials that a member of our
forum, Keith Brown has put together to show us how to make a wooden soap mold from scratch!
I read on the internet how to bend PVC pipe using a heat
gun and I thought you should be able to use the same principle to form an
oval shape from a round downpipe. The only PVC pipe I had on hand was 50mm
(2 inches) but there is no reason the same procedure cant be used on larger
PVC pipe. In fact I found this length of PVC under our house about 2 years
after we moved in. There is a date stamp on the PVC pipe ... 1974 :o So
older PVC pipe works well too! :-)
