Working through the pain, thanks. You are hungry for watermelon. Talk all you want or don't, it is your channel, if someone doesn't like it, they don't have to watch. :)

[@andrearoxborough7710]

The watermelon looks heavenly.

[@DeanWilson]

It sure is. Love this soap. Thanks for watching.

[@debbiehart2008]

So good to see a male making soap and thankfully for me with you being in Australia and myself in New Zealand i can understand you and your measurements etc. Love what you did. They are both really nice

I think you had just enough poppy seeds, and I enjoy when to talk to us!

[@dragonflyflutterby2952]

I have a terrible toothache because my Root Canal FAILED! Lol, I’m not sure when you posted this Dean, but I feel your pain! I love your soaps and I’m going to try your beautiful watermelon soap and wish I could smell them. I just started recently. I was thinking of giving up because I was so frustrated and a few mins. later I had found a video you did (and I thought cool a guy making soaps too) but you said, “It’s ok if you make a mistake at first, just keep going!” That inspired me to keep going! So Thank You Dean 🙏🏼🧼🧽💦Hope your feeling much better now....

[@DeanWilson]

Thank you and im glad you found my videos. I failed recently ( video soon ) and I explain why its ok to fail.

Watermelon is always aesthetically pleasing.

Oh wow Dean! I just think you are amazing. To do all this when you are in pain! How are you doing now? Thank you for sharing your excitement and thought process of creating with us. It’s fascinating! I do like it when you talk more, it’s like we are on the creative journey with you. 😂😂 the Awkward Pause!! 😂😂 Your sense of humour lol When you took them out the moulds I said: Yes! Ooohhhh! YES!!!!! I think that both soaps are perfect in colour and quantities for the styles of soap and the individual bars came out great too! I’d call the round one ‘watermelon crush’ or ‘watermelon muddle’. I’m so freakin’ jealous Dean!

[@DeanWilson]

Thanks so much. Yes, im feeling better now. Still have to see the dentist again Friday and then again in 2 weeks. But I think the pain has now passed.

Great job, lovely colors and soap. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you so much!

[@juliocampos2798]

hi. usually when a fragrance make your soap turn brownish is because it contains vanillin. to solve this problem you can add a tablespoon of vanilla stabilizer per 1 pond of melt and pour. thank for sharing your beautiful creation. I can't wait to try it.

[@DeanWilson]

Thanks. I have tried vanilla stabilizer before but didnt like the smell. however with this fragrance it turned didnt the soap brown - so that was great.

[@helenellsworth9556]

@@DeanWilson also, I have melt and pour but when I tried it, it kept going hard, it's really cold here in NSW at the moment so what am I doing wrong

[@DeanWilson]

Your need to melt it down to 135-145 F degree. At about 120 it will start to go hard and be very hard to work with, your might need to remelt parts again that are left in the container.

[@quiltgirl1450]

Thanks so much, its a normal Aussie accent :)

[@paigescorpion7946]

I love listening to you talk.... you have a soothing voice!! I hope you are feeling better by now. Had a few root canals & I sympathize with you. I think the poppy seed mixture is great. If you make this design again, you could always leave just a small amount for the top without poppy seeds as the heart of the watermelon!! Both designs are great!! The swirls in the round soap are really pretty.

[@DeanWilson]

Thank you! Had my 2nd dental appointment today and my tooth feeling a lot better. No pain currently.

Woow! Beautiful. 🌹🙋

[@KingConcoctions]

your joy over the scent and the shape of the round bars made me happy. Thanks for the video!

[@DeanWilson]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks

[@RTJames-gq9xg]

Love all of these; but the rounds reminded me of a lovely spring water colour painting. Something so soothing about that! I found myself happily surprised at watching a “M&P” and learned there is so much skill involved in achieving a beautiful soap in this medium. (No, not a soap maker-but would love to become a peaceful hobbyist). Thank you for sharing your work! PS. Root canals are a royal flush! Hoping you are well and feeling at one❤️

[@Waterflame]

When I first saw the pink with the black specks, I immediately thought it looked like dragonfruit!! Maybe that'll be your next soap! :)

[@DeanWilson]

Which supplier is that dragonfruit from?

[@Waterflame]

@@DeanWilson I wish I was a soap maker, so I could tell you!! But, hopefully, someone else might know of something! I just thought the colour with the speckles of black looked like the fruit itself, and making it in the circle would make it look like slices of the fruit.

[@DeanWilson]

Very true. I will check with my supplier :)

[@DeanWilson]

Glad you like them!

[@sheilastockdale6715]

Hey Dean, thank you for making this video while you’re recuperating. I hope you’re feeling better. This was a great video. I liked both. The round was a deconstructive watermelon and then the loaf was a classic design. My husband would say there is no such thing as too many seeds, so he would be thrilled with the loaf. I say seeds should be an accent to the design, so the fewer the better. So your two soaps make us both happy and two sales for you instead of one! 😂 Thanks!!

[@DeanWilson]

I appreciate that! Thank you :)

[@pawsandhooves-l2s]

[@nubianempressmarsha926]

They both turned out great. I like the darker red tho... really got a watermelon vibe from that darker red. Gotta try this soon

[@rollmeinrice]

If you cut the metal bottom off of the Pringle can you can use the lid end covered in plastic wrap as the bottom... Then you can remove the lid and push your soap through without cutting apart your can. You might have to line the can with freezer paper depending on your recipe though.

[@DeanWilson]

Good idea.

Do like the darker red, as you have found out through experimenting, each time is fun when you hit upon something really neat. I felt your pain. I had dangerous abcess and a deep surgery for it followed by crown. Won't bore you with the rest. Glad you are feeling better. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much!

[@evangelineboyles377]

Dean, I too like you have been through too much lately but enjoy making things so I keep making bathbombs. inmaking red, you mixed way more oink the first time. which is why you didn't get a true red. for the loaf it had to have been more even or more of the darker one. mad mica's voodoo makes a nice red in mp. if you order from there be sure to get a big jar of peacock and the true red set for cp. Please show how you make a round mold. pringles cans are probably easier. you can use a piece of pvc pipe from hafdware store. and length? and diameter you want. cheap. can buy cap for end if you want. be sure to line with the right kind of paper so the soap will come out. cp can take longer sometimes due to the self contained heat. PVC is probably cheaper than your silicone. hope this helps. love your videos. yes I'm "talking" to you in your video.

[@DeanWilson]

Thanks. Im going to work it out and order some more silicone next week. I like silicone molds.

[@pinkladyht]

Nicely done, Dean! Round swirls were my favorite! Sorry you were in pain but super glad you started feeling better. I absolutely appreciate your dialogue and your ability to tell us what is going on in your head! It is nice to hear somebody else have to switch gears in the middle of the project or doubt their choice in the middle of the project or get excited about a new project while you're working on one😁 makes me feel more human and less alone in my soaking adventures knowing other people experience what I go though too!
