[@dianesmigelski5804]

I love your technique. I think your soap came out great. I would like coconut lime scent with white, green and maybe a gold or yellow. Maybe made in layers like a pie. Gold/yellow for pie crust-textured, lime center, white top for meringue. Maybe even flake on a shredded soap for the top for coconut. White or golden depending on if you want the coconut to be toasted.

[@DeanWilson]

Sounds nice. Thanks.

[@supriyasamuel6985]

This look lovely

[@bobbieg3220]

I love Energy. It smells so good. Green, yellow, orange. I've made the soap with shreds before. I put the shreds in the mold then pour the base over it. Worked very well. Thanks for all your videos. Love them!!

[@vickipopp9671]

Coconut Lime - white base with bright green (glitter mixed in just the green) swirl. For top...color some base a medium brown - let that harden & then shred that up. Once the top is filled...sprinkle the brown shreds mixed with a little glitter on the top & you could even cut up some paper straws to insert & make it look like a drink!

They can if they dont bond with the other soap base correctly. Its a 50/50 ending. make you spray rubbing alcohol to bond the soaps together.

I'd like a soap with the coffee fragrance and the black raspberry and vanilla. Yes, two fragrances in one soap if they match. I think they will. For the colors, white, wine red, brown and caramel. And as always, lovely video and a lovely creation. Keep it up! 🥰

[@ginuinesoul302]

I would like to see the Hawaiian Breeze with purple, green, and yellow. And what exactly is the suspending used for? I use Stephenson melt and pour all the time but don’t know what to use the suspending for. And sometimes my soaps don’t lather like I want them to. Will the suspending help with that?

[@DeanWilson]

If you check out my Juicy Watermelon videos your see when I add the poppy seeds they are all suspended. In normal base they sink to the bottom.

Hi @Dean Wilson, is a suspension base a certain type of melt & pour soap?

[@DeanWilson]

Yes, it is. Here is a link to amazing stock but you might find it cheaper at your local supplier. amzn.to/3w7U3o5

[@Felicias_Box]

Would it be possible to mix cold process soap shreds with the melt and pour?

Im not really sure. I might have to ask some people in a few fb groups.

[@pn3929]

Dear Dean, I am from India. Tried making soap but comes out with many problems. Would like to know how many ml of fragrance oil should be added to melt and pour and at what temperature? Do I need to add fragrance oil in carrier oil or should be added directly ?

[@DeanWilson]

Hi, I only add 2% fragrance oil into my soaps. This means if you have 1000 grams of melt and pour base, i would add 20 grams of fragrance oil. The fragrance has to be sink safe but you should never use a carrier oil for melt and pour soap base. Regarding temp, 130F is a good time to add the fragrance or whenever it goes from a solid base to all liquid. Best to ask your supplier because all bases are different.

[@pn3929]

@@DeanWilson Thanks a lot. Regards.

[@reflux043]

Can you use normal melt & pour soap for this, since the chunks are quite big, or do you have to use a suspension one? Also, where do you get the shallow pink silicone mould?

[@DeanWilson]

You can get the 6 cavity molds here - amzn.to/2Y2JBPO You can use any base you like for this design, the chunks sit on each other.

Sweetpea and Jasmine is my biggest seller in melts and candles. Even the people that don't love floral fragrances also love it. I would love you to do it in Teal, pastel pink and purple as these are my favourite Sweetpea colours. I would love to see it in a slanted pour, one side then the other and then two of each colour in slanted ' V ' shape overlapping slightly as you go up. These bars turned out looking pretty cool looking.

[@DeanWilson]

Not sure the slanted melt and pour will work. Maybe with CP it would.

Energy - bright orange base with light black & white swirls. If you have a fruit slice mold, maybe make some embeds with light green & lots of glitter.

[@GlendaMoore]

You should try a mezzaluna knife - it has handles on both ends and cuts through soap very easily. You can get one pretty cheaply from Amazon.

[@allthingsreal]

When I put the bits of soap in, I put them in the mold and pour soap over the top of it.

[@DeanWilson]

Yes, I could have done that. I always find that creates bubbles (holes) in the soap when air is trapped.

[@sheilastockdale6715]

Great soap! I think this would be really popular with little kids. As for your next project..... I choose the very vanilla. The bar should be an off white/cream color. Then top the bar with a whipped soap “whipped cream” and then a small red ball on top. Then you can sell them as a very vanilla milkshake! You could even stick a paper straw in it to complete the look.

[@DeanWilson]

Thanks for sharing!!

I ordered this perfume from abroad. It smells awesome. I have 1 question. When you use these soaps do they release colours?

[@DeanWilson]

No, the suds are white/clear.

[@monamarie875]

Question How many ounces does a mold like that take & since ur adding embeds do u have to add a little more soap base to fill it up?

[@DeanWilson]

38.44 oz is what the mold holds. I take the weight of the embeds and subtract it from the mold max weight then thats the difference in different base.

@@DeanWilson Aww that’s very sweet of you! I’m just getting into soaping. So I’ve watched a lot of your videos. I’ve bought the monkey farts fragrance oil to make my granddaughters some soap. I thought they would get a kick out of that!! LOL!! I Love to watch you because you use bright beautiful colors, and you explain things so well. My husband and I are in the process of setting up a soap studio in my basement. Other than a few stainless tables and a microwave. Do you have any recommendations for things I need? I have micas, glitter, hand mixer, mixing bowls, spatulas, a couple of the pitchers with the pointer spout, a few molds, some alcohol, some skewers, tussah silk, activated charcoal, a few fragrance oils, and some essential oils. I know I kneed to buy my oils, and lye. But I didn’t want to buy them too early, and them go rancid on me. I’ve been buying things here and there trying to get ready for this. I have a wonderful husband who is very supportive! He is scared about me using the lye because we are on a septic tank, and he doesn’t want me to kill the good stuff in the tank. If you know what he’s talking about? I’ve watched a ton of videos of yours, and Royalty Soaps. I have one of Sorcery Soaps books. I’m just trying to see what recommendations you have for a rookie soap maker. I have made two trays of melt and poor soap. They turned out ok. I don’t think I put enough fragrance in them because I was scared! LOL! 😁

[@DeanWilson]

Its really a trial and error thing. The first think I recommend is don't get EVERYTHING up front, grow with the hobby, get your cold process recipe right, test test test. Make sure your 100% happy and ask others to test as well. Take the feedback and improve on your craft. Go slow. I know others that have jumped in, purchased everything then decided it was not for them. They loved making it but could not sell it. Even I struggle with it. For me soap making is not a full time business. Infact most of the time I just recoup my spending because I love making soap. But if you intend on making this a full time gig then get ready for a rocky ride because it's a hard slog. Some soap makers still have not turned a profit after 2 years. Im not trying to turn you away, but handmade soap (small business) is not a money making machine. As for that you need, try 1 recipe/design at a time.

[@kimward4396]

I agree with what you are saying about buying everything. I have got a couple of recipes that I want to try to see which one I like. For example I’d never heard of donkey milk soap before. But I found some and that is the first melt and more we are trying. Because I read read that it was supposed to be good for your skin. We live in Colorado, and during the Winter the heat really dries our skin out. We are originally from Alabama. So our skin is not used to there not being hardly no humidity. LOL! In Alabama the humidity is thick like pea soup! 😂🤣😂🤣 I do understand what you’re saying about maybe not being able to make money at this. But the whole reason I am getting in to this is because the company that made the soap I was using discontinued it. Where do you live? Do they have the soap brand Dial there? Well that’s what I was using, and my favorite scent was Tropical Escape. But one day it just disappeared off the shelf. You know how companies do that little thing they love to do to us! So that’s when I started looking into making my own soap. It really wasn’t to make money. I want to be able to produce the smell I want. And I can make it for gifts. You get the picture. I hope you have a wonderful day!
