Charlene being an absolute queen. She makes soap making look so glamorous. Such a good mash up! xoxo

[@journeyofanartist]

YOU'RE BACK! YESSS!!! Please keep making videos! This is my FAVORITE soap channel!!

[@otakuyaoiness]

Oh, Catherine (sorry if I spelled that wrong) I just stared to follow this channel and you have really kept my desires to make soap, safely, alive. I saw that you hadn't uploaded in over 6 months and got so worried something happened to you. So happy your back.

[@hogwallowsoaps]

Cathy, so good to see you back!!! Missed your videos!! I learned SO SO much from your channel... it was the first one I subscribed to waaaaay back. ❤️

[@teresastrayhorn277]

Great video! I enjoyed seeing everyones favorite tools. I would say that my favorite tool is newspaper. I place a few sheets of old newspaper under my mold so if I spill it's an easy clean up and protects my counter top.

[@soaping101]

Great tip!

[@bytheSEAsoaps]

My very favorite soaping tool is the ice tea spoon~! I have more than a dozen stainless steel ice tea spoons and use them for multiple soap making tasks!

[@lauren8143]

What a great idea for a video! I smiled through the whole thing. Thanks SO much--so much fun to see, and may I say, so much community in the lovely soaping world! Thankful to God for soap and soapers!!!

[@EdensSecret1]

What a cool idea, I loved this video and I love you Cathy! Fantastic tips from all these wonderful Makers! I especially loved the silicone brush tool from Brandy McClurg as I always get those crumbs around the ring on my bath bomb press, so this is a great idea thank you xxx And Clyde I've NEVER noticed that a soap cut with a knife is shiny compared to a wire. We could clearly see the difference.

[@lianne2830]

I love this video!!!! I just ordered silicone brushes and the mica blenders! Thanks to everyone who did this video! My favorite tools for soap making are stainless steel condiment cups. I use them to mix my micas in and then all I have to do is wash and reuse. One part in not adding any more plastic to the oceans!

[@TheLoveweaver]

Great idea! I'm going to do this as well! 👍🏼

[@melissaowens6031]

Omg the bath bomb lady’s tool was so smart!!

[@TheLoveweaver]

Genius!

I hope you do continue making videos. I quite enjoy them!

[@aprilm.wemigwans-mezimegwa541]

My favorite soap maker was the Master Soapmaker Jackie Thompson. Because she was the only one that used a tool that was not designed for that specific job. Really shows she knows how to use whatever resources is around her. Ideal role model, bravo . think im gonna see if i can purchase soap from the master soapmaker. Also Clyde Yoshida from Vibrant Soap.

I have a rolling kitchen island that I create on. It’s surface area is the perfect size except that I sometimes struggled with what to do with the top of my stick blender. Then I picked up a “Command Hook”...and it’s my new best friend.

[@kathysanchez5945]

Cool...thanks to everyone for sharing & showing their favorite tools!!!!

[@LaNuvrisaDelMonteSoapShop]

That was a cool video, Cathy!!! Thanks!

[@amnatasneem9501]

Hi Cathy! My heart warmed up such a lot seeing you and all the lovely, beautiful soapers! Thank you for making this video! As always, I learnt such a lot!

[@gaildulgar8486]

When I went from small 2 lb batches to big 10lb batches, this was my savior. Makes scrapping out the pot so easy.. Silicone Bowl Scraper - by LeBeila. I got mine on Amazon, but I've seen them in the cake decorating section of most craft stores too.

[@shadyacrehomestead4737]

This was fabulous! Would love to see more videos like this 😍 Thank you!!

[@roxannecabiya6958]

Miss you, your awesome, love your voice and your videos. Looking forward to seeing more. ❤💐😀

More to come!

[@aidastanescu1497]

Good idea with this videoclip!🤗 My favorite tools for soap making are bamboo chopsticks and silicon spatula 💗 I use the bamboo chopsticks for almost everything, including for plants infusions with oils (hot process) or cooking Thank you for the tips and tricks 🤗

[@aidastanescu1497]

Sorry for the wrong words, my phone autocorrect. I meant to say making ,not mailing 🤣

[@TemperedStorm]

Thank you for sharing this video. I'm not a soapmaker, but I appreciate the process, the thoughtful artistry, and how they're combined with the functionality of the end result. Thanks to you, I've learned about jewelweed and how beneficial it is. Looking forward to more videos. :-)

[@maycuarecamacho]

Wow! I really enjoyed watching their fav tools 😍

[@SeattleDonna206]

Great tips and how to use favorite tools. My favorite tool is the mini spatula. Mini spatula get every last drop of goodness plus helps to minimize clean up. A good kitchen shop, Daiso has these mini’s.

[@soaping101]

Great idea!!

[@arishkegal]

I have Jackie Thompson’s book!

[@firdowskruger9896]

Hi Cathy, My favourite tool is my silicone spatula. Love it to the moon and back. Greetings from Pretoria, South Africa

[@irenem4578]

Top video!!! Great inspiration as always! And it is so nice to see your face and what you look like! Hi. Lovely to see you. 😊😁

[@jillreverman8120]

Love you Tracy@Tracy Heppes!!!

[@annmariegugliemino5009]

The chopstick. You can use it to measure micas, stir your batter for a nice design, create a pretty swirl on top, helps keep you from spilling fragrance oil when measuring, cleans up the sides of a mold filled with batter. Can't soap without one!

[@apriltruran1592]

Wow its really neat to see that everyone eles have a fave tool i just reciently came across mine really tiny tiny spatulas for when im scraping the colorants out of the tiny bowls i have i always feel like i was wasting mica because i couldnt scrape all the colorant out with normal size spatulas

[@sheilam4964]

Wonderful idea for a soaping vid and done so well. I really enjoyed this.

[@natalieanderson4897]

Terrific tips. Will be picking up a tape knife tomorrow. 😁

[@anastasia10017]

what is that pink knife made of ?

[@ecomamaadmin3328]

Wonder if it's ceramic.

[@rosana4695]

Thoroughly enjoyed this!

[@natalieanderson4897]

....and...I just ordered the mixer from Nurture. 💜

[@brendastjohn]

Soon I will be making my first batch of liquid soap. Still need some more supplies and will ad a thing or two from these favorites. Thank you.

[@judydawson8173]

[@heidigib01]

I love the tiny mixer too!

[@mimibugg2866]

Very interesting, thank you for sharing this great video.

[@melissaowens6031]

And Clyde is right, my multi-bar cutter does leave little “pebbles”! I use my knife from @jayburford (Etsy, burfordprojects) and it comes out much smoother on certain designs!

[@chulada03]

I learned a lot! Thank you for this video! 👍👍👍

[@rhondameighankrolicki7938]

Hello all! I'm new here. I'm just getting into making soap and I love this channel. I do have a question that I cant seem to find an answer to tho. Is it possible to use all of these great cold process recipes, without using lye, and get the same results? The are so many awesome recipes and techniques I want to try but they are all cold process.

[@annacox27]

Rhonda Meighan with cold process soap, you have to have lye. It creates a chemical reaction during soaponification that makes the soap soap!

[@tiffanymantovani9500]

Would you PLEASE do a video on soaping with vinegar. I don’t sell soap but I do make my own and would really appreciate a video on how to use apple cider vinegar. Thank you.

[@bytheSEAsoaps]

What is the purpose of adding vinegar to your soap?

[@tiffanymantovani9500]

bytheSEA Soap Mella it helps to balance the skins pH levels, it helps with acne and breakouts, it’s an anti inflammatory, it’s an exfoliating agent, unblock pores and is awesome for the vaginal area. I bought some a while ago but I’d like to make my own. Ive seen some videos about ACV soap making but there’s no details. I’m not looking to steal anyone’s recipe, just would like some detailed examples. Would be awesome if you could help. Thank you.

[@teresaoberg6066]

@@tiffanymantovani9500 I have used it in place of water to dissolve Lye. No further instructions - just the usual safety precautions.

[@tiffanymantovani9500]

[@annejuliette4014]

I use ACV as a post cook additive for my HP soaps.

[@darbo5975]

Wow all these amazing shoapers in one video 😀 Hay I have a question does anyone know how to turn alcohol into a gel?

[@judydawson8173]

I'm guessing off hand, heat the alcohol in double boiler once the steam becomes visual remove it from the boiler. If using gelatine, it should help.

[@creeksidenaturalsoapssuds6479]

Thank you for the tips . Awesome

[@zdzd0085]

What is the best electric conductvity for used water in soap thank you

[@TheAccidentalViking]

Odd question, but I'll bite. Adding salts of any sort to water will increase its conductivity. Oils will decrease. So, a salt bar, with no super fat (which will be rather a strong soap) would increase conductivity of water. Or scrap the soap all together and just add some sort of salt. Conductivity increases as salinity and other inorganic molecules increases . Soap molecules are salts. (sodium cocoate, sodium palmate etc.) Salts are a type of metal ie: inorganic.

[@blowitoutyourcunt7675]

I love all of these. In my soap shop (@lucynellsoaps on instagram if anyone wants to just look), my soap tool I cannot live without is my wax paper! I love it for my heavy soap dough-laden soaps! My soap dough glides right off of it and I don’t have to use corn starch or arrow root powder!
