Video

I Dream of Soap has a video. It's called Soap Challenge Club Cold process soap making, swing swirl soap.

Thank you so much for the information. I had only found two videos for the technique you described, but they called it a horizontal pull screen. And only one had dividers as you described (width wise), I will see which one is the oldest video as I will consider that the original one. In case you are interested, the one I found was from SNIF Natural Soapmaking, and the video name was: Creative Soap Design Series #1: The Spatula; with J. Cyr

@@SoapsbyGlenda thank you, I'll check it out.

Hi! I just added it to the description, but I will try to paste here as well. Thank you!

Thank you Tree! I was happy with how it turned out

Thank you Tanya!!

Hi Tanya! Thank you, it is nice hearing from you as well. How is the soap making going over there?

I'm still having lots of fun trying different colours, swirls and styles.

@@tanyabonnett4174 oh nice, playing with colors in soap is a lot of fun!

Hi, not sure what you meant? :-) have a great day

If it is made of stainless steel wire, you could. If made of galvanized steel, I would not recommend

Unfortunately no, I didn’t film the whole process for this one.

Last valentines instead of buying already dipped strawberries we did it ourselves, and it was so addictive. Then I started dipping pretzels, cereals, you name it! Great idea on the dark brown MP soap for dipping!

You are most welcome! Thank for the feedback!

Thank you!!

No, I add it to the mix of oils and water (after adding the lye to the oils) reason being is that it could precipitate in the lye concentration alone

Thank you!

Nice, would love to see your results!

Thank you! I think anyone can use it, especially as their kitchen soap. The idea is that with all the exfoliants, it helps remove extra dirt better

Thank you, of course. I only cleaned the residue of the container with the water, would never do it to the total lye amount. But thanks for pointing it out so others can read since I missed that! And thank you for pointing out about the plastic container numbers, also a great reminder. I tend to think that if someone is masterbatching they already know the basics, which is why your reminders are important, you are definitely my senior in soap making by three years, I have only made it for the past 7 years.

Thank you!

It is stainless steel wire. If you check the description, you can find links to different thickness (gauges)

It may have helped a little, in the past though, when the soap is that thick, the stick blender is not very effective, the gummy paste fills its cavity and the blades don’t seem to mix anything around them, and there is a risk or even burning the motor by forcing it continuously. If it was more fluid it could have worked.

Given the water content of the soap at this stage (just cut) shredding was not feasible, it would have gotten stuck in the shredder instead of coming out in Shreds

Thank you Tree! Have a great weekend!

Thank you Lauren I appreciate that!

thank you! I have missed making soaps too!

It was! thanks for stopping by!

Thank you! Have a great week!

Glad it helped! thank for letting me know

Thank you Tree! I hope you are doing well with your kitty!

I am actually working on one, hopefully I can share it soon!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you! That means a lot!

Thank you!

Thank you so much! That made my day!

You are most welcome!!

On this one, I did not initially. It took me a few minutes to split it into all the colors and blend the colors by hand. However; after I had poured the colors in the cup, and realized it was too runny, I did wait a couple of minutes and it did become thicker/better for the pour.

Perhaps not the same but close with the newer models. I have an older iPhone model and it is not as good at handling colors. However if you have good lighting and take the picture very close to the light source, it does help

@@SoapsbyGlenda Thanks for your response

Thanks for stopping by!

Thank you! 😀

You are most welcome!

Thank you! I was surprised myself!

Thank you!

Thank you Lauren! I appreciate that! God bless too!

Thanks so much! Nice to hear from you too!

I hope yours turns out good. One tip I learned is that round molds work best for roundish shapes, if you have something with very straight lines it might not be the best approach.

@@SoapsbyGlenda Thank you so much! I really appreciate the tip!

Thank you Lauren, it has become one of my favorite easy pours

Thank you, I agree. Though the one from Nurture Soaps does seem tall to me, I usually do not even fill it all the way up.

Thank you Lauren, you too have a blessed thanksgiving, though I can only imagine how hard it must be. By the way, if you have an extruder, I would be happy to send you this rose disc.

I am glad you liked it. No, I did not the whole loaf at once horizontally. What I did was that instead of slicing it like a loaf of bread at 1" thickness, I did thick "slices" of about 2.5" thickness, enough to show the whole tree. So out of a 10" loaf, I got four big thick pieces. Each one of these pieces I then cut them horizontally. I hope I make sense, if not let me know.

Thank you! yes, lots of patience needed for this one.

I 3d printed them myself :-) it took a long time!
