2 notes - get a square container to make the soap in, it'll make pouring easier and less messy. 2nd, flip the cutter and cut from the top loaf down, it'll make it much easier. Great job!

I was looking for ideas of what to put in them or how to set them up, or even if they’re recommended. If you (or anyone reading this comment) have any advice on gift baskets, please let me know! I’ve googled and even asked chat gpt lol, I’m getting a lot of ideas that are too much (not cost wise but there’s too much in the baskets.

I’m sorry that happened to you with the paperwork for The Employer Identification Number - EIN. The government websites are pretty easy to work with. That soap came out fabulous! How did you calculate the amount for the mold to the exact point?! May I suggest a big stainless steel pot for these very large pours. Ariane Arsenault uses them and she pours big slabs. 14 to 16 quarts should be a good size for that particular mold. Good stuff…love that soap! ❤️

To get the exact amount, I started with knowing how much soap fits into the slab mold, which was described as 24 LBS. then on soap calc, I entered my oil weight. I kept adjusting it until it read over “24 LBs” in the total soap weight field. I know there’s a more mathematical way to do it, but I’m not a math girlie so this way was easiest for me 😅

It was EIN USA TAXID - not going to put the link to prevent people from going there. For EIN registration, go here: www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employed/apply-for-an-employer-identification-number-ein-online

Wondering why you didn't measure before you started. Not being rude. Also, long sleeves.. or long gloves. Lye burns are not good.. I'm 5ft, and having a platform to stand on while needing to pour something heavy, is huge.

That was scary for me too, watching you without sleeves and long gloves. Also, I have been spraying mica on my soap tops just like that for years and my lungs can tell you that a mask is your best friend. That stuff floats around so bad. I was worried a bit about your spillage in the beginning. Like, you cant tell if you have lost a lot of oils for your lye ratio or if you have spilled more lye that oil. Maybe it just appeared to be a lot. Hopefully things will get easier going forward with all of the great suggestions here xo

Hey Jerika. I tried making a batch today and added a spoon of coffee. Measurement were a cup coconut oil a cup and half of grapeseed oil and 50g olive oil. The batch actually separated 😕 like it became chunks like. Please help

Run your recipe through a soap calculator like soapcalc. And try soaping using more precise measurements like grams ! It will give you better and more consistent results ❤

Are the markings already on the mold, or do you need to add them yourself?

I have a suggestion for your colorants. If you measure out a percentage of your oil weight, you'll always have enough colorants! I think 1-2% should be enough. I Dream In Soap does it and I think it's a great idea, I've done it before and it's worked out great.

Get yourself a food grade mixer drill attachment. It will be a game changer for mixing your oil/butter/lye blend and allow you to use deeper buckets to properly mix. I'm getting one on order ASAP!
