Christina Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 How do you guys get yoru soaps so shiney nicely cut...you know, no hard edges. I'm new so I really need some details. I've heard of soap planers or something and borax baths or something but i really can't picture what these mean or how to go about them.

It gives my bars a "rounded" edge, not a 45* bevel as you get with the normal beveler. Some spritz their soap with alachol and rub down with ladies pantyhose to shine them up. I said some....not everybody does this...LOL:laugh2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOLNow that just made me spit my food on the computer!! I guess pantyhose aren't just for legs anymore, huh? First candles now soaps. I haven't tried to shine mine up yet...I kinda like the rough look, but that's just me for now.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
