Hibiscus Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 I've had these sample mailing tubes since before christmas and finally had a chance to test them. They work very nice with no leaking or explosions or anything. They come with two end caps and I used only one. I covered the top with press and seal and threw a towel over it. The soap pulled away from the container as it dried and all you have to do is remove the end cap and push the soap out. I know this soap looks quite nasty but it smells nice. I scented it with acqua di gio but of course I renamed it:D this canister/tube is 3 x18. As soon as I sort out my email I will find who sent these to me. But if I don't get back just google plastic mailing tubes and you will certainly find them I also have cardboard tubes that I haven't tried and they are 3 x 36 but I cut them in half. I'll probably have to line those in order to reuse them.These are much easier than the plastic bottles. oh and I didn't coat it with anything.Hope it helps anyone who loves round soap as much as I do! www.visipak.com that's the name of the company where I got my samples.

I did go there earlier and requested samples. I got what I think is a automated e-mail saying that they would be shipped. I do recall coming across a site that didn't sell in bulk but the shipping was too high. But with enough "samples" I might not need to purchase any!..lol and free is always verrrry nice indeed:grin2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hibiscus Posted January 8, 2007 Author Share Posted January 8, 2007 Great idea! What size batch did you use for these?It was a multi mold experiment. I didn't quite fill it all the way as you can see in the pic I will guess that it will hold about 1 1/2 possibly more. I used my 4lb batch divided amongs two plastic tray molds and that one 3 x 12 round. I made a mistake in that I previously posted it was a 3 x18 mold. Although they do have the molds in that size. I will be playing tomorrow night and will know for certain how much they hold.HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Heck I don't think it looks nasty at all. I have something similar from goplanetearth, but I'm thinking it may not be CP friendly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hibiscus Posted January 9, 2007 Author Share Posted January 9, 2007 Well, thanks but I'm not convinced!..LOL:D i dont feel too bad because it was an experiment and anything goes when your experimenting..LOL..it was just the wrong color..ick I hate working with black colorants!

thecandlespastore Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 The prices for the molds are pretty good, got a quote from them yesterday, and they are sending me samples. Maybe we can get a co op going one day for these:grin2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
