How to Stamp Soap

[snowman358]

ok so if i were to sell soap online and someone orderd a bard of soap,i would have to make a loaf of it...do u think if i packaged the other bars (thats not sold yet) in shrink wrap and shrink it it would last a while?

[soapqueentv]

@snowman358 Yes, always wrap your M&P soap as soon as possible. And they should last many months and look as good as they did when you made them.

i think you could even pour a little clear soap into the crevice after you put on the mica powder. it would keep it in!

[soapqueentv]

@TheLemonLily That's a great idea! thanks!

[familychef]

Wont the mica wash off with the First use?

[soapqueentv]

@familychef It usually lasts for a few washes. Mostly it's there to look pretty when you first get your soap!

Can you make watermelon soap? ^_^

[soapqueentv]

@lilyfloweranime I did a blog post on that once. Thanks for the request!

Could you upload more please i get excited when you post because its a while in between videos xx

[gloomybearluver]

@soapqueentv hi, I'm a new to soaping and I was wondering if you can cut soap (once its harden) if you could cut it with a plastic cutter

[soapqueentv]

@gloomybearluver It depends on the cutter and how hard your soap is. I mainly use metal soap cutters or regular kitchen knives, so I cna't say for sure. I would give it a try and see!

I get so excited when I see these videos in my subscriptions!

[soapqueentv]

@reecexavier Thanks - that's great to hear.

I know the video was about the stamp but this really makes me want that virtual mold now. :-D

[twopearlsoaps]

wow you must of been reading my mind, I found some stamps and just started but with little success.

[soapqueentv]

@twopearlsoaps What type of stamps are you using? Is there anything I can try to help with?

[twopearlsoaps]

@soapqueentv little ink stamps, not very good on Melt and Pour bars.

Does the rubbing alcohol you use there stay in the soap and does it irritate the skin?

[KewneRain]

@7eloua The rubbing alcohol evaporates.

[7eloua]

@KewneRain thank you! And if you put it in between layers?

[bee3105]

@7eloua it has evaporated by the time you are ready to pour the next layer.

[7eloua]

@bee3105, you're so sweet to awnser my question, thanx!

[soapqueentv]

I have found that even if I pour when there's still a little rubbing alcohol on the surface it just disappears by the time I unmold my soap.

[karleebrook]

@7eloua It should evaporate. 

[7eloua]

@karleebrook  Thanx!

[happygina7]

do you have a video on how to keep things like oat meal suspended throughout the entire soap and not settle to the bottom ? thanx :)

[7eloua]

@happygina7 You can wait until the temperature of the soap is a little lower so it becomes a bit thicker and then divided the oatmeal through your batch.

[happygina7]

@7eloua thanks :)

[soapqueentv]

@7eloua thanks for the great answer!

[bee3105]

@happygina7 If you check out the Making Gardner's Soap video, Ann Maree demonstrates that process in that video. There is also a video on making Loofah soap that can help.  Hope it helps.

@bee3105 thank you :)

@bee3105 thanks!
