      You’re are def right her space in the video is definitely decently sized but wanted to say as encouragement - one of my best friend’s moms makes soap above her garage and it’s literally a hallway in size and diameter. So you can have a smaller space but I do think with soap making you need more space than other homemade items you can make yourself unfortunately.

    First soap making video I’ve watched. My grandmother made all our soap (yes using lye). I didn’t know what store bought soap was until my grandma died in 1970. I’m going on 68 and realize that my younger years were spent caught up in modernization. Now that I’m retired some of the old days are coming back into my life.

      Hi Robin, just reading your comment as a soap maker myself (self taught during lock down) , you should try it out for yourself. It's such a brilliant thing to learn because once you learn it, it's for a lifetime and one bonus is you can make the best soaps & gifts ever, all by your own design. Once you use handmade soap again your skin will hardly ever need moisturiser lol.

    I will start by saying that I am not a soap maker…yet! I’ve been watching a lot of videos to learn and have seen other makers use 99% alcohol sprayed on the tops of the soap after pouring to help prevent soda ash. Thought it was worth mentioning if you want to give it a try. Thanks for the great video!

    • @lamarshrock878
      @lamarshrock878 Před 2 měsíci

      Yes to this! I always spray alcohol on top. Usually almost right away and then I spray a couple more times in the first hour or so. I seldom have ash. ~Marita

    • @Soul.7
      @Soul.7 Před měsícem +1

      Also you can steam the tops of the loafs that have the soda ash after saponification. When about to release from the mould, instead steam the whole top surface area and leave to dry for a few hours. I often do it at night so I remove a dry loaf in the morning, then cut. Leaves a shining brighter colouring and milky ash gone. Bought myself a tiny steamer jug kettle on Amazon dedicated to shiny bright soda free textured tops. LOVE THIS VIDEO, inspiring, and a great promoter of the beauty and value of handmade soaps. When I want to go into a calm space free of the worldly chaos, I turn inward and either make soap, meditate or read life-affirming books. Bless ya. 🍓

    HI Mary! Have you thought about making soap on a rope? It is difficult to find these days..I remember EVERY Christmas my Dad would request soap on a rope. He liked that it wouldnt slip out of his hand, and it didnt get soggy sitting in a soap dish. Your soaps are beautiful and Im sure they smell even better than they look. Thankyou for sharing your talents😊❤

    Ive been dabbling in soap making off snd on for a few years. I was origionally trying to figure out how to work with bees wax and shea butters but that didnt turn out as well as i hoped. I made some shower melts that make your shower smell amazing and it melts down the drain. But now im getting into actual soap making. I love the melt and pour method. They came out with a clear soap that you melt and you add your own ingredients and fregrance to it and its so easy to cut. It melts in about 20 seconds in the microwave and i dont believe lye is in it but im not sure. But all the hard stuff is already done and you measusure out your own ingredients and you can use the same stuff to make shampoo bars as well. Im super excited about that.

    You are so creative, on the chocolate covered strawberries maybe skip the green and just a thin sheen of chocolate and a small drizzle of white. I love the idea and ai bet it smells amazing. I have loved all the scents I have bought from you. Also an idea for spring, grow loofahs and add those to your line as a package with the soap.

    If you use a small handheld clothing steamer on your soaps that have soda ash on them the soda ash disappears and you have nice shiny soap. I do this about a week before they are fully cured. I never really worry about soda ash because this method works wonderfully. Thank you for the wonderful video. Makes me want to get back to work making soaps again. Hugs to you and yours.

    soap making is my happy place, nice to see that you enjoy it as well; beautiful creations. I find spritzing my batch with 99% rubbing alcohol after I've finished swirling the top helps eliminate most of the soda ash.
