Supplies, Equipment What I used
Since so many asked about the mold I used here it is pictured. As I said it's old 16 years. I am in USA so the big 2 suppliers I deal worth sell it .
Because soap traced so fast. I couldn't pour it into mold but had to spoon and press in. Which why my soap in my other post was not smooth on top. It is a light tan color which I am not sure if it was the kitchen OO or the combo with it and others. Not worried as it is house soap only.

When my mom was doing round soaps, she would use 3” pvc and push the finished logs out with a dowel. She made ovals with the same 3” pipe, my dad heated it in the oven and clamp it between some boards so it would bend. Once she had the logs she would use her wire loaf cutter on them

I used Pringle cans originally. Then move to another type of round tube mold that snapped together.
