Dancing Funnel Pour | + why squeeze bottles suck | Making of Norberta | HP Fandom | Day 52/365

We are making the Norbert today! Well, the Norberta. No spoilers, but honestly if you haven't read the books or seen the movies at this point, there's no saving you.
In this pour, we are working with the dancing funnel technique. Why it's called the dancing funnel is beyond me. I don't name the techniques. I will show you why it's important to work at emulsification for this soap, and how to spot emulsification. This soap is scented with dragon's blood, an essential oil blend that tends to accelerate trace, so working at emulsification is critical to getting a good dancing funnel with this one.
My audio is screwy and I'm working on it.
If you're interested in the Norbert(a), or anything from the Harry Potter fandom line, you can find them on the website!

Soap & Clay is a family owned business operating in Washington State, but started out online thanks to Mrs. Soap & Clay's kickass brother and his amazing web design skills. The business was started as a tribute to Mrs. Soap & Clay's grandmother, the OG maker in the family that cultivated everyone's love for the DIY life. The studio/retail shop opened in 2017 on 6th Ave in Tacoma, and immediately began teaching soap, bath bomb, lotion, and scrub classes to the makers and maker enthusiasts of the PNW. In 2019, the pottery studio opened as well, making the soap shop a busy place full of artistic energy every minute of the day.
Mrs. Soap & Clay has been featured on Business Spotlight, New Day Northwest, and was awarded a coveted place on the South Sound's 40 under 40 list in 2019, an award given to the most influential business people under the age of 40 each year. She cried when she walked up to the podium to accept the award. A lot.
Drawing from her chemistry background and her maker spirit, Mrs. Soap & Clay infuses her favorite things into her soapy designs and creates products that are fun to see, use, and learn to make. Stick around for this ride - she'll take you on a great one.

Yup, ALWAYS line with a cheap plastic bag ( I use cheap piping bags sometimes) held with an elastic band. Easy clean AND you can pull the bag out and squeeze out the last bit of soap. Always satisfying. Great video. JK Rowling would be delighted

I've seen people line their squeeze bottles with plastic baggies of some sort, that way afterwards they can remove the baggies and squeeze out the excess soap into an extra little mold, perhaps it's something you might be able to try??
Pretty soap btw!

Hey! Yeah I’ve tried that - even done the airpak thing in addition to little sandwich bags. Me and extra steps are not so much. That and I need the airpaks to ship orders! 😂

For anyone that tries this technique get you some platex bottle liners so you don't have to clean them and don't have waste.

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

Such a good idea! For those that are trying to minimize waste with single use plastic items, they’re still gonna have to go through the pain of cleaning bottles.

Looks like a hand work out
