Extruded forms
I have been making these soap dishes for some time now. I extrude them in a 4 inch barrel extruder-I cut my own die.
The feet and soap groves come out well. I cut them at angles and trim some feet down with a wire mud tool-I hole up about 1/2 of them and turn the ends up slightly to keep the soap scuz from spilling off ends.They sell ok with a few bars of brightly colored bar soap to show folks what they are-In the galleries they sell better next to hand made soaps. These do not sell as good a
The dish is curved in the die itself and once I extrude them I lift the ends slightly as well . !/2 of them have drain holes say for inside showers-the other 1/2 do not=they sell about the same-people like choices. I like the non drainers next to our sink .Heres the die photo hopefully you will make your own style-this shows where ridges and the foot is. its 3 3/8 inch wide. I had to modify my Brent extruder head cap (cut some away) to use this die
