Teach Soap

Hi,
I tried to section off my plastic loaf mold. The hot soap seeped through the wall I made. The mold slants down from 3.75" at the top slanting down to 3" wide at the bottom.
I know we discussed how to do this before, but I can't find the thread.

Thanks,
einnoc

I've used modeling clay to section off my mold.

Soapbuddy, do you use a piece of cardboard and thenseal it with molding clay or do you make the whole wall with the clay?

I would fit plastic wrap or bag into the mold then put the wall in where you want it and support the wall with styrofoam or a sack of beans! Make the plastic as smooth as possible and there won't be too many wrinkles or any leaks!

Thank you Soapbuddy & Mella, I have a wooden mold, maybe I should try it with that until I get some clay.

I wonder if I could use caulking around a piece of plastic covered cardboard. The plastic in the mold bulges out so its hard to get a tight seal.
I don't want to ruin my mold, tho.

I know the voices in my head aren't real, but they sure have some great ideas!

Sectioning off a wooden mold is a whole lot easier than plastic! I cut my silicon loaf mold in half & then joined it back together. It's actually better this way because the sides don't bulge.
