thesoapbox Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Here is a picture of my very first salt bar. It took alot longer than an hour to get it where I could pull it out of the mold. I molded at 6pm and removed it at 9pm and it was still extremely soft to cut into. You can see my lines marked for cutting . I used the blue and yellow pop colors in this.I used Rainforest fragrance from WSP and it is an earthy, manly scent. My boys are begging to use it now.'Angi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesoapbox Posted May 28, 2008 Author Share Posted May 28, 2008 This one was hilarious to deal with. I had these smaller domino's holders that were wood and just the perfect size to make a long log of sample sized soaps so I filled both of them with this. When I tried to unmold it, it became a huge mess, soap all over my hands lol. I ended up dumping it into my tog mold and using a spatula to spread it and then added a bit more color on top for those swirls since the first set of swirls were lost in the mess One thing! Fresh soap burns the tar out of your fingers if you have any cuts in your cuticles!Angi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverSoyed Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 At least it turned out nice.As for the burns... OUCH... I can only imagine! I get that all the time when I'm cooking with citrus. I'd imagine the pain is just as bad, if not worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesoapbox Posted May 28, 2008 Author Share Posted May 28, 2008 I'm wondering if I did it right as everything I am reading says that within hours their salt bars are hard as rocks. Mine is still soft. Not extremely soft but you can definitely feel resistance when I touch the sides of it. It smells even better today. Guess I will see how it does when I try it out.Angi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesoapbox Posted May 29, 2008 Author Share Posted May 29, 2008 Here is the picture of them cut. They cut just fine. It was really sunny when I took this.
