I did it...!!! I finally made my first batch of soap. I was really afraid of dealing with the lye but I went ahead and I did it. Will post pic after I take it out of mold, which is a pvc pipe. I made such a mess using that pipe, which is too long. I pray I can get my soap out. Didnt like how the lye seemed to "bounce" everywhere, if thats a good term to describe it. It took about ten minutes to trace, I think I should've let it get thicker. I read somewhere on here to put a plastic bag at the end of the pvc pipe. I did that and the little cap that came with it. Soap still oozed out...lol. But its done cant wait to unmold and cut it. Sorry this was a long post.

Congrats on your first batch! When I use a PVC pipe I use layers of duct tape on the bottom. It seems to hold better. Mine are 12" tall, so it's easier to get the soap out. If you put a fabric softener sheet in you lye, it should take away some of the static, so you beads don't jump everywhere.

Depending what your recipe is, it might still be ok to cut. What are you using for cutting?

If the pipe is too long anyway you may want to cut it down. If you know someone who is handy with tools they may be able to cut it with the soap in it... then you can freeze it and get the soap out that way. You can also use something to push the soap out. When necessary I use a tall spray can I found... you just need to make sure the soap is firm enough.

For the next batch, buy a test cap from the hardware store. It's a rubber cap that fits over the end. It has a metal clamp that tightens up... just tighten it as much as you can and it shouldn't leak. And if you use a plastic liner (like a flexible chopping mat) the soap will come out easier than you could ever imagine.

Good luck.
