Cedar Leaf Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Is there any way of stamping soap after it cures? I have a soap stamp but am wondering if I could get any yeild out of a regular rubber stamp and mica. How could I do it?Linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAS Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Hi Linda,I'm not sure about stamping on a fully cured bar of soap because I have never tried to do that. Here is what I have tried and know works. I have used mica with both a plain rubber stamp and a metal stamp purchased from www.owossographic.com but only on fresh soap. This is what I do After I cut my soap into bars I just take my stamp and "dip" it into some mica (which I put into a flat plastic plate) then place it on my soap and press it in. Easy-peasy If your soap is hard (cured) the rubber stamp might not make an impression. Kelly Bloom said that she dipped her stamp in some oil (jojoba I think) before she dipped in mica and stamped. Please let us know what happens - does it work or not Here is a pic of my rubber stamped soap -and here is a pic of my metal stamped soap -Happy stamping!TAS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 (TAS - coooool soaps!!!)I've stamped cured soaps (fugly soaps, stamp available... bored.. ). It definitely can be done. It is a little more difficult, though, depending on how hard your soaps get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeana Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Tas, love your soaps and the stamp. I have trouble stamping even on fresh soap. I wish I could get mine that clean and deep. I always get the impression of the rubber backingwhen I press hard. If I do it lighter you can barely see the stamp. Could you share how you make the curls for your soaps? Are they CP?

Are they CP?Hi Jeana Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Mercury is retrograde and causing my computer to have little hiccups - plus I could not find the photos that I wanted to share with you. Anyway -- glad that you like my soap/stamp. When I do veggie soap it is always much softer and I need to have a lighter hand when stamping. The tallow soaps are easier to stamp in that they do not get "squished." For the soap curls I use a soap beveler, or a cheese slicer. I got the soap beveler at KB. Here are some pics. Hope this helps you "curl your soap."Oh, and yes, I do the CP method.Please share you creations once you have "curled you soap."TAS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
