I love soaping in PVC. It’s one of my favorite molds to use for making 3″ round soap!
It can sometimes be a bit tough to unmold your soap especially if you’ve used a recipe high in soft oils or a recipe high is castor oil (which makes sticky soap in high amounts). You can rub with mineral oil. But you know…I don’t want to use mineral oil.
So I’ve found a source for liners that fit 3″ pvc pipes and 3″ mailing tubes that are up to 10″ tall. I use these to line the molds in my soap making classes.
Line the mold with the liner and pour in your soap. After you pour your soap in you’ll pull on the liner a bit to smooth out any wrinkles or creases that might form.
24 hours later simply pull the bag of soap out.
Remove the liner from the soap. Turn inside out and peel from the soap. It comes off very easily!
Slice up your soap!
These make lining 3″ PVC pipes or 3″ mailing tubes a breeze.
These are so nifty, I wanted to offer them for sale. $12.00 will get you 25 liners and includes first class shipping in the US. Order here!

Amanda: I would like to purchase your 3″ PVC liners. How can I do that? Also, would I cut the PVC at 10″ or shorter so I can have left over liner to grab & pull. Thanks for your help!
Hi Amanda,
I just want to say that I truly admire your work. You are so very talented and have lots of wonderful tips and ideas. I would love it if I could take your classes.
As far as these mold liners, boy do I wish I could get my hands on them. Like Celine, I too live out of the U.S. Bummer for us!
Anyway, please keep up your great work and thank you always, for sharing your information with the world. Take care : )

Great idea! And the soaps look wonderful too. Pity I’m not in the US.
