We live in the Poconos near tons of candle shops and touristy type places I'm sure would sell them if we came up with a decent product. Oh and I wanted to tell you how impressive your work is.

I always use steamer on soda ash it always work. Just use steamer little longer almost to the point of soap melting. Also don't hold soap in your hand when steaming because you get fingerprints or glove marks on. You could get steam burn. I use BBQ skewers under the soap for steam to go around the soap bars evenly. Put a single napkin layer on your surface are under the skewers. Let the bars dry completely before you touch them. I have saved hundreds of my soap bars from soda ash and turned them into beautiful shiny bars.

Remember me? I've mentioned to you a while back about doing an experiment with 50% water discount. I do this all the time and never experienced soda ash since... I can't imagine ever going back to a higher water count. Pros w/ 50 % wd, curing time is cut in half about 3 weeks.. test it yourself? try out the pH levels after that amount of time and you'll see it's safe... but my suggestion is when soaping at such a steep level you have to be sure that you are soaping below room temperature.. I go as far as putting my lye solution in the freezer until cooled, because if you soap hotter then that you will reach Trace immediately... I would love to see you do a Experiment video on 50% wd😁👋

Oh gosh, I forgot to mention, soaping like this is nearly impossible to leave your soap in the mold for 48 hours or 24 hrs...
