MochaMama Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Hi Ladies:I purchased the Milky Way Soap stamp that says 'handmade" but when I received it in the mail, it did not work. Basically the stamp is a female stamp, i.e. the letters are recessed rather than standing out like an ink stamp would, kwim? I thought that soap stamps were raised letters or designs on hard resin (or whatever they use). Or do I have a defective stamp?to explain further, it would make a great stamp for raised letters on playdough, but does nothing on my soap. Does anyone have a Milky Way Soap stamp?

CareBear Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 The "outline" or area around is raised and the design is recessed - yup that's the way they are. I have 2 - a hand and a sun and they work GREAT. Have you actually tried it yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MochaMama Posted February 26, 2007 Author Share Posted February 26, 2007 I tried to use it, but the soap seems too hard. (I do melt and pour) any tips? I'm no expert, but I expected it to be like an ink stamp. duh on me I suppose! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 LOL...They are not ink stamps, they are supposed to stamp a design into your soap, not onto your soap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meridith Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 They take some practice too. Your soap can't be too soft or too hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CareBear Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 I've never tried on MP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MochaMama Posted March 2, 2007 Author Share Posted March 2, 2007 tried on a pink grapefruit MP - worked pretty well except I need to use a mallet rather than a too-small hammer:shocked2: . The impression it made looked good, but it was a little uneven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
