The best thing I've seen online today! Like the answer to my diy soap mould prayer 😂. Thank you so much for this!

[@LivestockInsiders]

Thank you so much.when I see the cost of molds is it's too much expensive. I had Googled and I got your cost effective mold making. Thank you madam❤

[@SoapAuthority]

You're welcome!

[@Preciousjewel1969]

Thanks so much you've solve my problem one and for all.

[@jayjones4419]

For larger molds using boxes to keep it from bowing out use duct tape. I use gorilla duct tape to and tape down the middle sides all the way around… works great 😊

[@fruitschnacks]

this is so helpful! the coconut oil trick for the plastic wrap is really good

[@SoapAuthority]

Thank you! It can be those little details that make things so much easier. 😁

[@ginasartadventures2716]

Your demonstration on how to line the mold (and make the mold). Was very easy to follow. I going to try and make a soap box out of the pallet wood I have at work.

[@SoapAuthority]

Thank you. That's a great idea! I'd love to hear how the mold turns out. 😁

Can we use a freezer paper/ wax paper on a loaf pan and do the same?

[@SoapAuthority]

HI! The freezer paper needs to be PVC coated shiny side up and the pan must be glass or stainless steel, otherwise any soap batter that makes contact with it can cause a chemical reaction you don't want. Wax paper will leak and the wax will saponify along with the soap batter cementing it to your soap, so unfortunately it doesn't work well.

[@Kumarikumari-ch8gt]

Thanks so much

[@justaddlivingwater]

Gr8 minds must think alike Because every time i see your videos it's things I do.. Lol

[@adrianneramirez9119]

Great idea! Thank you for sharing this! How many pounds of soap per box were they able to hold?

[@SoapAuthority]

The recipe I used was 47 ounces, so almost 3 lbs.

[@adrianneramirez9119]

@@SoapAuthority Thank you very much! I appreciate it!

[@instalitfast]

Hello Love you Video have a question how long do you wait before making the swirl on the top of the 5 pound block of soap?

[@SoapAuthority]

You can swirl it as soon as you're done getting it all in the mold, unless you want more texture. Then, just let it set up a little bit before swirling... maybe 5 to 10 minutes depending on how fast the recipe sets up.

[@GordonDunbar]

Many thanks. One question can Wax Paper be used instead of Freezer Paper?

[@SoapAuthority]

You're welcome! Wax paper won't work because the lye in your soap batter will saponify the wax. It will stick to your soap and you'll end up cutting it off of your soap. It will do the same thing with the wax coated milk cartons. Freezer paper is PVC coated, which is a type of plastic making it ideal for lining soap molds.

[@Rosemary-lg8sf]

❤ awesome

[@abedisule3093]

Goodness

[@geoffrayment7811]

Another tip is to push a large Lego brick into the corners while you’re taping. This ensures the paper goes right into the corners.

[@SoapAuthority]

Great tip! Thanks!!

[@MichelleSluss-or9uc]

hi, can you make a video how you calculate your sell soap? thank you

[@SoapAuthority]

That's a great idea! I'll keep that in mind for future videos.

[@MichelleSluss-or9uc]

@@SoapAuthority thanks for the response and sharing. I saw your blog, And I am still confused for calculation. I have plan to sell wholesale, my total of my tools, ingredients of my soap, labor it will be reach cost $5 if I doble it, i don't thinks for wholesale they going to buy. pls! thank you for helping and sharing. Happy thanksgiving

[@SoapAuthority]

@@MichelleSluss-or9uc A great book that goes into detail on all of this is "How to Wholesale your Handcrafted Soap" by Benjamin Aaron. It covers a lot of the calculations and how to get your costs down.

[@ladymitch32sunshine88]

Okay, thanks. I'll wait your video how you calculate to price your soap. Oh, did you double your cost of packaging? Thanks again. I'll try to watch all your video, I'm your new subscriber

[@OjanaResin]

Instead of the freezer paper can I use foil paper?

[@SoapAuthority]

I wouldn't use foil paper. Since there is active lye in soap when it's first poured into the mold, it will have a dangerous chemical reaction to the aluminum.

[@anitahall53]

can grease proof paper work ?

[@SoapAuthority]

I haven't used that type of paper, so I can't say for sure. If you do try that, be extra careful in case it leaks and be prepared to cut it off your soap if it sticks.

[@davidquiroz6147]

poner cinta al interior y me olvido del papel

[@SoapAuthority]

You can do that if you want to.

[@soulkalastudio]

What can you use if you don't have freezer paper?

[@soulkalastudio]

Aside from the wastebasket liners, I mean.. Like perhaps a wax paper?

[@SoapAuthority]

@@soulkalastudio Your soap will saponify the wax in the wax paper and you will have to cut it off your soap. If you don't mind the extra labor of cutting it all off your soap you could use it. No guarantee it won't leak, so take precautions there.

[@soulkalastudio]

@@SoapAuthority I see, thanks for letting me know. There's no freezer paper here in my country, closest thing would be a wax paper which i dont think id use as per your advice. I think I'm better off with the waste basket liners. thanks.

[@SoapAuthority]

@@soulkalastudio The waste basket liners I use are HDPE plastic. They don't stick to the soap at all.

[@romeoazon3129]

Think

[@liveandletlive7152]

Is it just me wondering what harmful chemicals are entering our soaps from that trash plastic liner during saponification😂 I feel same about cling film even though i use it all the time😂

[@SoapAuthority]

Plastic trash bags, plastic coated freezer paper, plastic wrap, plastic soda bottles... at least with the soda the plastic is safer than the contents. 😂 I also wonder about that store-bought bread that won't grow mold for weeks.
